About Us
We are a team of researchers, students, volunteers, and enthusiasts aiming to advance mangrove conservation and management in the Philippines.
Partners
We seek and welcome partnership and collaboration with various stakeholders – NGAs, NGOs, POs, academe, etc. – to do mangrove research and management. Our study involves topics on biology, ecology, conservation, biodiversity, sediment dynamics, carbon stock and sequestration rate, environmental change (mainly sea level rise), community participation, Marine Protected Areas, environmental planning, and environmental management.
