Manila Bulletin
|April 7, 2025
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is pushing forward with plans to institutionalize ocean governance through the establishment of an Ocean Environment Bureau, with the full organization of its Ocean Environment Task Force (OETF) expected by the second quarter of 2025.
The DENR made the announcement during the "Strengthening Philippines-France Cooperation for a Sustainable Blue Economy" forum organized by the Stratbase Institute and the French Embassy in the Philippines.
DENR Undersecretary and OETF Vice Chairperson Augusto Dela Peña said the initiative is part of the agency's goal to enhance marine conservation efforts through structural reform within the DENR.
"Our goal is to drive organizational transformation within DENR for more effective ocean conservation. To achieve this vision, we have established the roadmap for the full organization of the Task Force in Q2 2025," Dela Peña said in a statement.
