DMMMSU through its Institute of Environmental Governance together with the Municipality of Bauang, Parian Oeste fisherfolk community and members of the Young Earthsavers’ Society (YES) planted 700 mangrove propagules (Rhizophora) at Bauang Mangrove Eco-Park on 10 December 2021.

The project aims at expanding mangrove green space in the area thus increasing the habitat of fishes and other organisms as well as adding coastal protection from strong winds and water currents.

This initiative is part of the environmental partnership between DMMMSU, Tanggol Kalikasan , Inc. and LGU Bauang funded by US-DOI thru Environmental Justice Sector Reform Program 2 (EJSRP).
