Description

In 2005 the Verde Island Passage was declared as the World's Center of Marine Shorefish Biodiversity (California Academy of Science).

Perpetually under threat from overfishing, industrial operations, and pollution, the quiet beachside municipality of Lobo Batangas pushes back by creating more sustainable, environmentally responsible sources of income. Such as sports tourism. Because what happens in Lobo, happens to the Verde Island Passage.

This will be our 7th year of racing and drawing attention to Lobo and the Verde Island Passage, everyone's efforts once helped to stop a large-scale gold mining operation from pushing through. We are the perfect ambassadors for clean and safe seas, because we swim in them!
