PHOTO HIGHLIGHTS | Training on Fish Processing and Food Safety

Isinagawa ng mga 4th year BS Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences ng SLSU Alabat Campus ang kanilang makabuluhang Undergraduate Seminar—isang esensyal na requirement sa kanilang kurso.

Ang pagsasanay, na may temang Training on Fish Processing And Food Safety, ay naganap noong Disyembre 15, 2025, at isinagawa katuwang ang DA-LGU Alabat!

Ang seminar ay nagbigay diin sa modernong pagpoproseso at mahahalagang prinsipyo ng Food Safety at HACCP.

​Ang proyektong ito ay nagpakita ng kahusayan ng mga BSFAS students at naghatid ng direktang serbisyo sa komunidad ng Alabat, na nagpapalakas sa kaalaman ng mga fish processor, asawa ng mangingisda, at iba pang estudyante.

Ang matagumpay na partnership at seminar ay isang patunay na ang edukasyon sa SLSU ay nakatuon sa pagpapaunlad ng lokal na sektor ng pangisdaan!

The GIS Training conducted in partnership with the LGU of Gumaca showcased the power of geospatial technology in strengthening local planning, environmental management, and community resilience. Led by Doc. Jobert G. Lomboy together with the five selected BSFAS-III students, the activity became more than a simple workshop—it was a meaningful collaboration dedicated to building the technical capacity of our local government.

With the active involvement of various LGU departments, the training served as a shared commitment to promote data-driven governance and improve the accuracy of maps, analysis, and decision-making within the municipality. This initiative plays a vital role in supporting disaster preparedness, resource management, and sustainable development for the people of Gumaca.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the following LGU departments for their participation, cooperation, and eagerness to learn:

• Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO)
• Agriculture Office
• Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO)
• Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO)
• Engineering Office
• Assessor’s Office
• Tourism Office
• Health Office
• Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO)
• Barangay Representatives
• And other participating units who contributed to the success of this initiative

Your dedication made the training productive, purposeful, and truly impactful.

Together, we continue to move toward a more informed, empowered, and future-ready Gumaca. 🌍🗺️

“A productive and insightful afternoon for our students! Today, November 19, 2025, the Seminar on Fisheries Management Areas and the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management was successfully conducted at Southern Luzon State University – Alabat Campus, led by Mr. Jobert G. Lomboy. The event was attended by enthusiastic 3rd-year and 4th-year BSFAS students who actively participated and gained a deeper understanding of sustainable fisheries practices. This seminar aims to equip future fisheries professionals with the knowledge and awareness needed to protect, manage, and conserve our marine resources for generations to come. 🌊📚✨”

🌿 Mangrove Assessment Activity 🌊

On November 13, 2025, the 4th Year BS Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences students conducted a Mangrove Assessment at Brgy. Balungay, Alabat, Quezon as part of their Fisheries Management Course. 🧑‍🔬🌱

During the activity, students recorded mangrove locations, species zones, conditions, and identified environmental pressures, they also established vegetation plots to measure tree height, diameter, community structure, and seedling density.

Mangroves play a crucial role in maintaining healthy coastal ecosystems—they provide habitats and nursery grounds for fish and other marine species, protect shorelines from erosion and storm surges, store carbon, and enhance biodiversity. 💚
