Globe, DA-NFRDI, Haifa University highlight importance of technology in marine conservation

GLOBE, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture's National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (DA-NFRDI) and Carmel-Haifa University Economic Corporation Ltd. from the University of Haifa in Israel, recently held a webinar series with students, teachers, fisheries experts and marine conservationists that tackled the importance of incorporating underwater technology in marine conservation.

The training sessions aimed to give industry practitioners insights on innovative tools and technology that can support marine conservation efforts. One of the topics discussed was the importance of using navigational tools, which is crucial for an archipelagic country such as the Philippines, where the fishing industry provides livelihood for over two million people.
