BFAR partners with energy firm for seaweed farming project in Zambales
Excerpt
Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has partnered with Redondo Peninsula Energy, Inc. (RP Energy), the developer of a 600-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, to allow several communities in Zambales to take advantage of the huge global demand for seaweed. To push through with the seaweed farming project, a memorandum of understanding was recently signed among RP Energy, BFAR, Subic Bay Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Fisherfolk Association (SBIFARMFA), and Farm Capital Corporation — the company behind the brand Weedera. The collaboration involves setting up of two pilot seaweed nurseries in Barangay Cawag and Barangay Matain in Subic. These nurseries will later expand into seaweed farms.
