TINGNAN: Ngayong 𝐢𝐤𝐚-𝟔𝟑 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, mula Setyembre 14 hanggang 18, 2026, binibigyang-diin ng DA-BFAR ang pangangalaga at responsableng pamamahala sa mahahalagang coastal at marine ecosystems sa ilalim ng temang:

“𝐋𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐲, 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧: 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧.

Maari pang humabol at dumalo. Bumisita na sa BFAR Central Office Grounds, Quezon City hanggang Setyembre 18!

Magkakaibang ekosistema ang lusay, korales, at bakawan, ngunit magkakaugnay ang kanilang ambag sa ating karagatan at mga pamayanan.

Nagbibigay ang mga ito ng mahahalagang tirahan para sa iba’t ibang isda at likas-yamang katubigan. Pinagmumulan ng kabuhayan ng mga baybaying-komunidad, tumutulong sa proteksyon ng mga pamayanan, at nag-aambag sa pangmatagalang seguridad sa pagkain.

Ngayong 𝐢𝐤𝐚-𝟔𝟑 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, mula Setyembre 14 hanggang 18, 2026, binibigyang-diin ng DA-BFAR ang pangangalaga at responsableng pamamahala sa mahahalagang coastal at marine ecosystems sa ilalim ng temang:

Tayo nang proteksyunan at pangalagaan ang mga "tahanang" nagbibigay-buhay sa ating pamayanan!
