MENRO Batad successfully assisted Ms. Josia Nem Layson during her 2nd data collection and sampling activity conducted on May 25โ26, 2026 in Barangay Alapasco, Batad, Iloilo. The activity focused on the collection of samples from Alapasco Dam to determine the diversity of zooplankton present in the area.
Zooplankton play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems as they serve as a natural food source for fish and help indicate the overall health and condition of water bodies. Through this initiative, valuable scientific data will be gathered to support environmental research, biodiversity assessment, and sustainable management of local water resources.
The MENRO Batad remains committed in supporting environmental studies and activities that contribute to the protection and conservation of the municipalityโs natural resources.
