Life Below Water

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Ateneo de Manila University's Coastal Cities at Risk (CCARPH) project collaborates with various local communities, governments, and stakeholders to engage with residents and stakeholders living in coastal cities. The project seeks to understand their needs and involves them in the planning and implementation of resilience-building activities.

The University runs educational activities in various communities to raise awareness about overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices. Some of these organizations are listed below:

• Bantayan Island, Cebu - Bantayan Island Coastal Resource Management Council
• Santa Fe, Cebu - Santa Fe Municipal Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Council.
