On May 28, 2025, the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) of Igang Bay Marine Sanctuary (IBMS) convened to review and approve the updated IBMS Management Plan for Calendar Years 2025–2030. Representing John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (JBLFMU) were Mary Mar E. Jaleco, RSW, D.M., and Ms. Glaiza Tabulinar.
After a thorough discussion of the proposed updates, Hon. Magon moved to approve the plan, seconded by Hon. Mojedo. With no objections, the motion was carried, and the updated management plan was officially approved. It will now be forwarded to the Sangguniang Bayan Office for resolution and formal adoption, marking a key step in sustainable marine management and long-term protection of IBMS’s valuable ecosystems.
