The Philippine Seas is filled with marine life beyond our imagineocean. Join our summer movement and save our seas one eco-bag at a time!  Our Seatizen Journey With your help, we are able to support: 2024 The Marketplace Summer Advocacy Campaign In 2024, SPS facilitated the Marine Litter Learning Kit with The Marketplace employees of Robinsons Supermarket and conducted a coastal cleanup Eleven youth-led projects Building on the SEA Camps from 2015-2019, Save Philippine Seas and the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines launched the SEA Camp Summit in 2020. The SEA Camp Summit sought emerging conservation leaders with proposals for online and offline advocacy campaigns and community-based projects addressing issues in illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing and marine debris in the Philippines and other countries in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Eleven (11) projects were selected from a competitive pool of applicants. The projects were co-funded by The Marketplace using proceeds from the Crazy Rich Oceans 2020 summer campaign. The maintenance and installation of mooring buoys in Cebu The donation from the 2021 summer campaign of The Marketplace and Save Philippine Seas was used for the maintenance and reinstallation of four mooring buoys in the marine protected area (MPA) network in Daanbantayan Island, Cebu. The four MPAs are Dakit-Dakit, Lighthouse, Los Bamboos, and Ka Osting. At least 10 species of sharks and rays have been spotted in Daanbantayan's municipal waters. Mooring buoys not only demarcate the MPAs but also provide a spot for boats to moor. By mooring to the buoys, fisherfolk and diving boats avoid throwing anchors in the MPAs, reducing coral damage. Since these species are migratory, healthier reefs could mean healthier populations of sharks and rays. Develop Earthducation Kits, which helps transform any space into an eco-learning space In 2021, proceeds from the Proud Seatizen tote bag will contribute to our Earthducation Kits , allowing seatizens to create eco-learning spaces at home and in classrooms.
