CEBU, Philippines - The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Central Visayas is recognizing Talisay City government's Fishermen Sea and Ecological Care, the city's version of Bantay Dagat, for its contribution in the protection of environment.

DENR regional executive director Dr. Isabelo Montejo, in his letter to FISECA chairman Gregorio dela Torre, said FISECA will receive recognition for their support to DENR's programs in the protection, conservation and preservation of the country's environment and natural resources.

The giving of recognition will be made in SM City Cebu on June 30.

Montejo emphasized the need to work with the various stakeholders in pursuing its mandate and goals to ensure the protection of the environment and at the same time improving the lives of every citizen.  (FREEMAN)
