Abstract/Summary

Visayan Seas Squadron (VSS) is the seaborne arm of the Law of Nature Foundation formed mainly for environmental outreach education and enforcement programs. It is composed of Bantay Dagat (sea guardians) operatives of participating local government units (LGUs) volunteer fish wardens, civic and youth groups, teachers and lawyers, and law enforcement bodies. The Squadron sails around the Visayan Sea, especially in identified hotspot areas and undertake its 3E campaign (education, engineering, enforcement) as a catalytic intervention to cause a mind shift among the people-especially the local fisher folks and the youth-to conserve, protect and restore the Visayan Sea.

From the preliminary interviews conducted by the group, VSS was in need of an awareness video to help tap potential donors or sponsors to fund their endeavors of conserving, protecting and restoring the Visayan seas. Even though they had an existing video, it needed to be updated because of its inefficiency and insufficiency. After viewing their said video, it was already obsolete due to events that have happened from the production of the video up to present and it lacked the proper communication of the organization's mission of existence. The proposed awareness video consisted of four major components: 1) a brief introduction about the organization, 2) the threats happening to marine life due to lack of education given to fisher folks, 3) the achievements and accomplishments of the organization with the limited funds and 4) what can be done by the organizations with the help of the financial contributions of the potential donors. From this project, the organization will be a step closer to achieving their vision of beginning a mind-shift in the next generation of Filipinos for them to care for our Philippines seas.
