The United States has concluded a first-ever three-day summit in Palawan that aimed at equipping local stakeholders with knowledge in conserving marine biodiversity and protecting the coastal areas.
US Agency for International Development Mission Director Ryan Washburn led the summit that involved 60 civil society organizations during his visit to the province from March 1 to 3 to express Washington’s commitment of environment support to areas facing the West Philippine Sea, such as Northern Luzon, Mindoro, and Palawan.
“This visit highlighted the US government’s continued commitment to supporting local stakeholders in conserving biodiversity and protecting marine resources from illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing activities of domestic and foreign fleets,” the US Embassy in Manila said in its statement on Monday.
This, as “we work toward achieving our shared goal of inclusive growth and a free, prosperous, and secure Indo-Pacific region,” he added.
