Sea of Life: KILo (Keep It Local) was established in partnership with JCI Manila to strengthen marine protected areas in Lian, Batangas. Since 2025, we’ve worked alongside local government units, fisherfolk associations, and various environmental coalitions to preserve coral reefs, install protective buoys for no-take zones, and raise awareness about the importance of marine conservation.
