CvSU Naic continued implementing the Philippine National Aquasilviculture

Program (PNAP) of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. The program

has three components including Mangrove Rehabilitation, Aquasilviculture and

Community-Based Hatchery. Aquasilviculture is defined as “an environment-

friendly enhanced fisheries production in the wild that involves the growing of fish

and other aquatic organisms within a mangrove area without cutting a single tree.”
