The Verde Island Passage in the Philippines is among the world's most biodiverse and productive ecosystems. To protect this vital environment and the communities that rely on it, the ABS-CBN Foundation partnered with AVEVA and system integrator Calibr8, harnessing data to empower citizen scientists. The team deployed CONNECT to create a single, unified view of essential environmental data, making it accessible to the community and stakeholders anytime, anywhere.
“Combining citizen scientists with the tech solution has supercharged the conservation of marine biodiversity in the Verde Island Passage.”
