Safeguarding our Seas, Empowering our Kababayans
Kababayans abroad, a new wave of hope is rising in the West Philippine Sea. The Stealth Runner project, a testament to Filipino ingenuity, is building a fleet of innovative patrol boats designed to protect our fisherfolk and the vital marine resources they depend on.
A Growing Threat:
Overfishing, illegal fishing practices by foreign vessels, and piracy – these are the challenges Filipino fisherfolk face every day. These threats not only endanger their livelihoods, but also put a strain on the delicate marine ecosystems that sustain us all.
A Sustainable Solution:
The Stealth Runner project offers a beacon of hope in these troubled waters. These eco-friendly boats, built with locally sourced materials, boast silent engines that minimize disruption to marine life. This allows for more effective patrols and promotes responsible fishing practices.
More Than Just Protection:
The Stealth Runner project is about empowering Filipino fisherfolk to become stewards of the West Philippine Sea. By providing training and support, the project equips them with the knowledge and tools to operate more safely and sustainably.
