Artworks by local artists advocating for mangrove protection in Negros Oriental are currently on exhibit at the 2nd floor of Dakong Balay Gallery along the boulevard in Dumaguete City.
The educational art project Bahandi sa Kabakhawan (Mangrove Treasures) is devoted to mangroves protection in the Philippines, and is in support of the mangrove protection educational program initiated by the Big Blue Network, and implemented for Grade 10 students of the Zamboanguita Science High School the past four years.
The Marine Ecosystems Research program, sanctioned by the Department of Education, gives the students an opportunity to gain knowledge about the ecosystems in their community through learning modules, or hands-on, through the conduct of basic field work, engaging in scientific methods like observation and surveys.
