Seeing More, Protecting Better 🐟💦🛡

How can accessible ocean technology 👨🏼‍💻 help us better understand—and ultimately protect—the Philippines’ rich marine biodiversity?

The Western Philippines University – College of Fisheries and Natural Sciences (CFINS) is honored to welcome Titus Cañete, President of the Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute, as our speaker for the upcoming colloquium.

Join us as he explores “Seeing More, Protecting Better: Accessible Ocean Technology for Philippine Marine Conservation”—a timely discussion on how innovative, accessible technologies can strengthen marine research, conservation, and stewardship in the Philippines.

💧See more. Understand better. Protect what matters.
