Verumar

Verumar enhances the Philippine Government’s capability to conserve and sustainably use their oceans, seas and marine resources while contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 – Life below water. This is achieved by integrating and working in concert with the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) and other stakeholders to scope and introduce new satellite-enabled capabilities. These enhance fisheries management and enforcement activities, and directly enable illegal fishing to be countered with improved efficiency. This also enables BFAR’s aim for excellence in sustainable fisheries management, contributing to national food security.
