Help Maqueda Bay!


Adopt-A-Multi-Species Hatchery
The Maqueda Bay Multi-Species Hatchery Project has started its commercial operations on the first quarter of 2004. Support is needed to maintain its equipment, laboratory, life support system, and other operating costs. The hatchery cultures high-value marine species in floating cages to provide an alternative source of coastal livelihood while the bay is given to regenerate.
