A private group has taken the initiative to coordinate with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) for the introduction of mariculture coral farming in Lubang, Occidental Mindoro. Through mariculture, a specialized branch of aquaculture, corals are cultivated in open ocean-based farms. RVS Fishworld Inc. launched recently the "environmentally friendly project" at the municipality's Tumibo Sawang area, which features a five-hectare seabed floor from the shoreline with only up to five meters of water that makes it an ideal site for coral farming.
