A memorandum of understanding was signed last week by the city government with the Philippine National Police – Maritime Group (PNP-MG) Regional Maritime Unit 1 and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources for the implementation of  Adopt A Marine Protected Area ( AMPA) Project.

The signatories were led by Mayor Arthur Celeste, Police Senior Supt. Rico Payonga (PNP-MG) and Regional Director Nestor Domenden of BFAR.
