The project beneficiaries are the 3000 fishers and gleaners of Danao Bay and Murcielagos Bay and the local government of the municipality of Baliangao.
The project built on the long term experience of the fishers, fisher-organizers, NGO-personnel and the consultant/advisor. The collective efforts date back to 1990 when the PIPULI foundation together with a group of local fishers established the Baliangao Wetland Park, a no take zone on the reefs and mangroves part of Danao Bay.
