The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region VI has launched a major initiative to boost sustainable coastal management by training its geodetic engineers to accurately measure critical foreshore boundaries in Capiz province. The three-day training, held March 24–26 at San Antonio Resort in Roxas City, focused on establishing the Mean High Water Line (MHWL) and Mean Low Water Line (MLWL) — crucial reference points for mapping foreshore areas and managing coastal development. DENR Region VI officials said this move supports the agency’s broader goal of improving data-driven decision-making in environmental protection, infrastructure regulation, and land-use planning in marine and coastal zones.
