The Catalyst Partners

Membership of Pamana ka sa Pilipinas is scattered nationwide. These member sanctuaries will not be possible without the presence and guidance of the CATALYSTS. The Catalysts are the Non-government organizations (NGO’s), National Government Agencies (NGA’s), Academic Institutions, and Local Government Units (LGU’s), which have created models and frameworks of community-based coastal/marine resources management and conservation in their respective niche and expertise. They are instrumental in bringing 122 community-based marine sanctuaries all over the country into a dynamic national alliance of marine conservation initiatives of small fishers. The most valued and treasured contribution of the catalysts to Pamana was the development and formation of highly respected leaders of fishers’ organizations, and sending them to the national leadership arena. At this point in time, the future of Pamana ka sa Pilipinas is put on the shoulders of these leaders.
