Looc Fish Sanctuary

The Looc Bay Marine Refuge and Sanctuary was established and officially inaugurated on January 12, 1999. Prior to it’s launching, the community of Looc, Romblon went through a 4 year period and process of intensive and community education and the values and need for better management and control of it’s marine resources. Barangay Fisherman Organization as well as a strong and dedicated volunteer fish warden group, the Looc Baywatch task Force, were formed. With the committed support of the Local Government Unit of Looc, and with the help and action of many individual citizens and other local organizations, the Looc Bay Marine Refuge and Sanctuary has become a shining example of how our community, its citizens, and the Local Government can work hand in hand towards the common goal of a rehabilitated and rejuvenated coastal marine environment. Through our coastal resource management project we hope to once again enjoy an ocean that will provide a bountiful livelihood for our families for many generations to come.
