Communicating Blue CAP Study Results

We are pleased to report that members of the Blue CAP study presented their results to the representatives from DA-BFAR and DENR today. Ms. Agnes Balota and Dr. Jingjie Chu (remote) were also present in the meeting. Valuable insights into the ecological and carbon sequestration potential of coastal ecosystems in FMA 6 and 9 were highlighted. There were engaging discussions on the ways forward for Philippine blue carbon. We are optimistic that the study fulfilled its goals in support of the ongoing efforts to integrate blue carbon into fisheries and environmental management strategies.

Blue CAP study members (Dr. Severino Salmo III, Dr. Dixon Gevaña, Engr. Ainalyn Nerves, and Precious Jacob) presented the results to BFAR and DENR Officials. Blue CAP is funded by PROBLUE and part of the World Bank technical assistance to the FISHCORE Project. It is conducted by the Marine Environment and Resources Foundation (MERF) under the leadership of Dr. Severino Salmo.
