Over 180 Filipino fisherfolk were trained in a United States-supported program to expand their knowledge on sustainable fishing practices and strengthen their ability to assert their maritime rights in the South China Sea. From June 2024 to May 2025, the fisherfolk from Zambales, Cagayan and Sulu participated in the program of the US embassy in Manila in partnership with IMPL-Project Philippines.
