Chevron Philippines together with Project Seahorse Foundation Opens Center for Marine Conservation Awareness


Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), in partnership with Project Seahorse Foundation (PSF), recently opened the Minantaw Marine Conservation Information Center, a former guardhouse renovated by CPI located inside the Minantaw Marine Park and Sanctuary (MMPS) in Danajon Bank, Cebu. The information center, a project under the Caltex Energy for Learning initiative, will help visitors learn more about the unique but endangered Danajon Bank, one of only six known double barrier reefs in the world.

 To mark the occasion, CPI provided PSF and local fishers groups, NAMACA, with life vests for fish wardens and visitors on tour of the sanctuary. The event also strengthens four years of partnership as the MMPS expands into ecotourism.
