The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) officially launched on Friday the "IM4ManilaBay" (Integrated Mapping, Monitoring, Modelling, and Management System for Manila Bay and Linked Environments) program, which aims to help decision-makers in crafting policies in the rehabilitation of Manila Bay. In an online interview with the Philippine News Agency (PNA), Executive Director Enrico Paringit, of DOST's Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD), said the program already started last March 15 and would run for about two years."(Under this program), the water quality parameters related to domestic and industrial pollution will be monitored through satellite images. So we can have an indication of the effectiveness of interventions through this monitoring tool," he said.
