dc.descriptionThe Philippines is home to a wealth of marine habitats, yet images of poverty and environmental degradation continue to define many of its coastal communities. Spanning more than 1.4 million hectares, the Verde Island Passage (VIP) lies in the western Pacific Ocean and covers parts of Batangas, Marinduque, both sides of Mindoro and Romblon. Despite its global recognition as a marine biodiversity hotspot, communities along and beyond its coastlines are experiencing what appears to be a gradual decline in quality of life. Oil spills, loss of livelihoods and widespread corruption that weaken natural defenses remain persistent problems.en
