What is DUCARE?• 5 years partnership with CDF! (2004–2008)
• Carry out reef check surveys in four areas of the Visayas – including Ronda! This helps determine the level of threat to the coral reef in your area.
• Raise Filipino awareness of the marine environment by presenting our findings to important people (you!). The Philippines is heavily dependant on the seas for food and other resources.
