Blog for protection of marine resources.

A friend sent me this link to a blog: www.oneocean.org/fishblog. The site was developed for the "Fishes Feed Us" international forum, a project of the Arts and Science Collaborations, Inc. based in New York.

The blog site is an online youth dialogue whose purpose is to put a human face on the destruction of marine fisheries and ecosystems, resulting in the decline in fish supply. What so special about the site is that four high school students from Masbate National High School, Philippines participated in the online dialogue along with students from Malaysia, India and USA. The blog entries of the two students from Masbate, Philip Joseph Alarcon and Kristine Yentyl Esber were chosen as monologues that were presented at the United Nations Plaza in New York City last June 5 for the World Environment Day celebration. It's very encouraging to know our own youths breaking the digital divide to participate in this worthy undertaking.
