ADD YOUR NAME TO HELP PROTECT MANGROVES!
Filipinos depend on fish for sustenance and livelihood. Declining fish stocks and unabated destruction of coral reefs, seagrass, mangroves and other habitats threaten our food and nutritional security.
Mangroves offer a solution. Among other services, they can help restore and rebuild our fisheries, provide wildlife habitat, protect our coastlines from storm surge and flooding, and combat climate change by absorbing greenhouse gases.
But our mangroves continue to decline year after year.
We must pass the National Coastal Greenbelt/Integrated Coastal Management Act to protect mangroves and ensure healthy fisheries.
Call on your Senators to pass the bill and pave the way towards a sustainable and secure future, now and for generations to come.
