The Albay Blue Lane (ABL) Inc. is refocusing its mission on coastal and marine protection to safeguard the province's World Biosphere Reserve status.

After a hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Albay Blue Lane (ABL) Inc., a nongovernment organization that pioneered the blue economy concept of development, is refocusing and restrengthening its mission of coastal and marine protection objectives to safeguard the province's world-class biosphere reserve.

Given the intensifying threats of climate change, the blue economy includes marine resources conservation and is regarded as the last frontier of development and therefore should be nourished and protected, said Nong Dawal, one of the original organizers of ABL. Dawal said ABL's revival will use as a platform Albay's declaration in 2016 as a World Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) under the term of former governor and now 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda. The declaration put the province on the world list of places for learning sustainable development and biodiversity conservation with the sustainable use of natural resources. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources had already completed the construction of the Biosphere Reserve and Research Center building in Manito town. The center will be fully furnished by 2025, with its modern laboratory, instruments and well-trained staff. The ABL concept was first introduced as among the five pillars of the development of Albay in 2007 by Salceda. It initially focused on four strategic areas on the province's eastern coast: Cagraray, Rapu-Rapu, Batan and San Miguel Island (Crabs)
