In 2005 the Verde Island Passage was declared as the World’s Center of Marine Shorefish Biodiversity (California Academy of Science).
Perpetually under threat from overfishing, industrial operations, and pollution, the quiet beachside municipality of Lobo Batangas has shown the foresight to nurture more sustainable, environmentally responsible sources of income. Such as sports tourism. Because what happens in Lobo, happens to the Verde Island Passage.
