Its offshore areas are dedicated to agar-agar culture and as fishing grounds for marginal fishermen. Despite these modern activities,  there’s a small undisturbed niche in her crowded shoreline where a marine turtle was found lately laying its eggs there.

Aware of this, the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR) through its Parks and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) launched what it calls the Pawikan Conservation Project (PCP) to  lead in the management and conservation of pawikans or marine turtles and dugongs. 


PCP’s immediate problem is poaching.
