The Philippines is a tropical nation with several islands and sea world surrounding it, it relies on healthy coral reefs for food, jobs, revenue from tourism and fisheries, and protection from rising sea levels and intensifying storms. Coral reefs are the most diverse ecosystems in the oceans, supporting all marine fish during various stages of their life cycles and providing a key source of cultural, recreational and economic benefits.
Over the years we have witnessed a dramatic increase in negative state of coral reefs. Coral reefs worldwide experienced catastrophic losses due to abnormally high seawater temperatures associated with global warming. But human activities has contributed on these ecosystems problems – threats from plastic pollution, agricultural run-off and sewage, unsustainable fishing, coastal development and growing tourism are compounding natural strain, and reducing their resilience to climate change.
We need a scalable aggressive conservation strategies, which is simpler solution, low-cost that can be implemented on every island. We have lots of wonderful islands, resorts and local communities as well as tourists that visit these tropical destinations, they hold the key to successful implementation of these solutions. Tourism fuels the economy. But we need to manage tourism in a sustainable way-- too much might lead to the destruction of what attracts tourists in the first place - the coral reefs. Through CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiatives, we educate our clients to give back to the oceans by taking responsibility for their company's effect on both the surrounding environment and the local community's social well-being.
Our company conducts coral reef research, monitoring, reef-clean-ups, coral gardening, and reef restoration. We provide training and educational seminars on coral reef conservation strategies.
Resorts should recognize the need to rehabilitate damaged reefs, as it is in their long term marketing interests and they benefit when their customers are aware that they are proactively conserving their reefs, even if this doesn’t translate into direct financial gain.
The goal is to connect individuals and resources inside and out of the conservation community to further the shared objective of preventing habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.
We love the work we do, and we hope you love the content we share.
