Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape marks 24th year
Excerpt
Sarangani Bay, one of the country’s richest body of water and home to the tuna industry, recently marked another milestone as it celebrated its 24th year as a protected seascape. To mark the occasion, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Region 12, in collaboration with the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), launched the first-ever Sarangani Bay Protected Seascape (SBPS) Week to highlight the efforts to protect and conserve its coastal and marine resources. The bay was declared a protected seascape by former President Fidel Ramos under Proclamation 756 in 1996, covering an area of 215,950 hectares.
