Panglao, Bohol, September 5 – 8, 2023 – The Protect Danajon Project conducted a 4 – day Open Water Dive Certification Training for the newly formed Danajon Monitoring Team held at Mario Dive Resort, Panglao, Bohol.
The Batch 1 trainees were composed of representatives from the Municipality of Tubigon, Municipality of Bien Unido, Municipality of Getafe, and Municipality of Calape, Bohol. The Bohol Island State University – Candijay Campus also joined the said training.
As part of this initiative, the project focuses on certifying 20 personnel through PADI Dive Certification to form the Monitoring Team. Under the leadership of BPEMO, the Danajon Monitoring Team will play a pivotal role in conducting periodic monitoring and rapid post-damage assessments caused by both natural calamities and human activities in the Danajon Bank Double Barrier Reef.
This unified effort signifies a strategic leap towards comprehensive conservation and proactive management of coastal ecosystems in the Danajon Bank Double Barrier Reef.
If you share our passion for coastal and environmental conservation and would like to contribute to this cause, we encourage you to get involved. Your involvement, whether through active participation in cleanup efforts, spreading awareness, or supporting initiatives like ours, can help make a positive impact on our coasts and our environment as a whole.
