DAVAO CITY - Researchers of the Marine Biodiversity Database (MABIDA) Project conducted a drone mapping activity at a portion of the Mabini Protected Landscape and Seascape in Mabini, Davao de Oro last 29 September 2022. Present during the activity were Mr. Christian Japson, a licensed drone pilot, and researchers Norjan Charls M. Cabanalan, Geomarie Anne S. Paredes, Ralph Raleigh P. Dalig, and Maria Joselle V. Luzon of MABIDA.

As one of the key protected areas in the Davao Region, the drone mapping activity conducted around the coastal areas of the Mabini Protected Landscape and Seascape aims to collect data (aerial imageries) for subsequent processing into maps and 3D models that could potentially aid in the management of the area. Coordinated with the local government unit (LGU) of Mabini, the team ensures that the output of the said activity will be shared and featured on the Marine Biodiversity Database.
