We do this by engaging with governments and communities and the next generation of conservationists as well as conducting scientific research in order to provide evidence based management strategies to sustainably manage the protected species such as whale sharks and mantas and turtles and citations in the Philippines and in southeast Asia. We envision a future for the oceans and the marine life that is secure and prosperous. JL: LAMAVE is a Filipino nonprofit, non-stock, non-government organization in the Philippines that conducts research activities to conserve marine megafauna and their habitats. Can you tell me a bit more about LAMAVE’s mission and what it is about Sogod Bay specifically that interests LAMAVE? So, Jess, the way I became aware of the work of LAMAVE was when I visited Sogod Bay in southern Leyte in the Philippines as a diver.
