In line with the University’s support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Acting Dean of the College of Fisheries presented two guidelines on SDG 14 or life below water which passed through the Council of Deans, the Administrative Council, and the pre-Board of Regents (BOR) meeting prior to their final approval.

During the 231st Regular BOR Meeting (3rd Quarter) held on September 29, 2022, the Board passed Resolution No. 30-2022 which consisted of the Action Plan to Reduce Plastic Waste and the Guidelines on Water Sensitive Waste Disposal.

These guidelines are ready for implementation in the University to conserve and protect the quality and quantity of water resources and embed a practice for proper water disposal.
