![]() LAMAVE started actually as a citation research project in the Bohol Sea back in 2010 but then we quickly found out that the area hosts other native species as well like whale shark, mantas, and turtles. We do this by engaging with governments and communities and the next generation of conservationists as well as conducting scientific research in order to provide evidence based management strategies to sustainably manage the protected species such as whale sharks and mantas and turtles and citations in the Philippines and in southeast Asia. We envision a future for the oceans and the marine life that is secure and prosperous.
