Summary
The Philippines are a global centre of marine biodiversity which is under increasing threat, most notably from overfishing, destructive fishing practices, and degradation of critical marine ecosystems. The Calamiane Islands are the home of numerous red-listed marine species as well as the last remaining members of the Tagbanua tribe and are thus not only a centre of biodiversity but a centre of biocultural diversity. The proposed project aims to finalize the establishment of six legally-recognized Indigenous-Marine-Managed-Areas in the Calamianes.
