USAid celebrates marine biodiversity program achievements
Excerpt
Officials from the US Embassy in the Philippines joined Philippine government and project partners to celebrate the conclusion of the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAid) Ecosystems Improved for Sustainable Fisheries (ECOFISH) Project. USAid worked with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), local government units, civil society organizations, and the private sector to improve fisheries management and combat illegal fishing practices that threaten ecosystems and local economies. In partnership with BFAR, USAid’s Ecofish project leaves a legacy of positive change that will foster future initiatives for the conservation, protection, and sustainable management of Philippine coastal and ocean resources.
