Our History

Save the Philippines Seas (SPS) is an independent movement that was first organized by concerned individuals, who acted upon a report on April 9, 2011, regarding a US-based company allegedly importing shells, corals, and other endangered marine wildlife from Indo-Pacific countries, including the Philippines.

The group went public on May 26, 2011, via the #reefwatchPH hashtag on Twitter.

What We Do

SPS is an independent movement to protect the world’s richest marine resources by harnessing the power of social media and lobbying for the strict enforcement of environmental laws. The Philippines is the center of marine biodiversity on earth, thus, its conservation, protection, and restoration is not just of national concern, but also of international significance.

Our Plans and Projects

SPS has a wide range of projects under the three pillars of Education, Engineering, and Enforcement.
