On March 18, the U.S. Peace Corps and international nongovernment organization Rare signed a new five-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly support sustainable coastal resource and fisheries management. Representatives from 29 local government units (LGUs) from across the Philippines joined the event, which coincided with the week-long U.S. Peace Corps-led training on community-based coastal resource management for office heads, fisheries and agricultural officers, and environment officers from LGUs that have a coastal resource management program.
