Empowering Limasawa's Coastal Communities through the Resilient IsLA Project

From June 19–22, 2024, Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) - Bontoc Campus, in partnership with ACCORD Inc., implemented the Resilient IsLA Project on Limasawa Island. The series of activities aimed at enhancing agri-fisheries livelihoods and coastal resilience included the Validation of Capacity Needs Assessment Results, Stakeholder Consultation, Coastal Resource Mapping Workshop, and a Rapid Assessment of Limasawa’s Coastal Resources.
The events featured participation from community members and local leaders, with expert contributions from SLSU faculty and student assistants. Key team members included Ms. Janine Dimzon (Activity Supervisor), Mr. Ryan Tomol (Field Leader), Mr. Jimmy Salamida, Ms. Alieza Del Socorro, Ms. Angelica Gerong, and OJT students Gev Cano and Chynae Sanchez.
This initiative underscores the commitment to climate action, marine protection, and sustainable livelihoods in vulnerable coastal areas.
