The Boracay Beach
Management Program (BBMP)’s project to propagate the corals in the beaches of
Boracay has now been launched through the Coral Reefurbishment Program.
This is a joint project
of the BFI and Petron Foundation together with the Local Government of Malay
with the full support of Malay Mayor John Yap as well as other guests.
The said project
aims to provide fishermen in Malay a livelihood through coral plantation or
aquaculture around the island.
It is also its
target to refurbish the marine environment as an important attraction for the
tourism industry.
Meanwhile, aside
from the funds provided by other government agencies, Marilou Erni of the
Petron Foundation set aside 500,000 peso budget as financial support to the
Coastal Resource Management.
Apart from the
fisherfolks, also present during the said activity were BFI President Jony
Salme, BBMP Project In-charge Al Lumagod, local officials of Malay and a
professor and expert from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
