Developing skills and building future conservationists

As a Philippine NGO, LAMAVE does its best to host at least one local volunteer per site (called a “scholar”) under its Iskolar ng Dagat program. This allows budding Filipino marine scientists, researchers, and conservationists to gain experience and learn skills that can contribute to marine conservation in the country. These scholars’ placements are sponsored by the NGO and by donors, thereby giving every Filipino, no matter their background or situation, the chance to grow and develop without the financial constraints often associated with gaining field experience.
