LEGAZPI CITY – Organizers of the Albay Blue Lane (ABL) Inc., a non-government organization (NGO) that pioneered the ‘blue economy’ concept of development,

LEGAZPI CITY – Organizers of the Albay Blue Lane Inc., a non-government organization that pioneered the ‘blue economy’ concept of development, met recently at the Pacific Blue Dive Center here to refocus and restrengthen its mission of coastal and marine protection objectives, and to strictly safeguard Albay’s world class biosphere reserve.

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 own modern laboratory, instruments and well-trained staff. To further consolidate and expand its development die-mension, a subsequent executive order was issued to implement the Coastal Resource Agri-Bio System , a development approach for – among others – the reduction of poverty in the coastal and island communities in Albay’s eastern and western seaboards.

In 2014 alone, ABL Inc. had trained 14 island barangays in bio-intensive gardening, distributed organic farming tools to some 3,150 recipients in the province’s coastal communities, conducted at least four underwater bio-physical assessment around Albay Gulf, identified and evaluated 32 dive sites, and evaluated and promoted 23 tourism sites.
