These boats are designed to withstand the onslaught of typhoons to ensure that the fishermen can continue with their livelihood in any event.ts to fishermen who lost their source of food and income after typhoon Haiyan struck our country.
WWF will train fishermen on building fiberglass boats ti also help save the environment in minimizing the use of saw timber and plywood. The 2014 NatGeo Run will also be using recyclable materials for its race bibs and a “Zero Paper” registration process in the form of a Centralized Registration System, which National Geographic pioneered in the country. The registration booth is at Lower Ground floor of SM Aura from March 1 to April 20. You can also register here http://natgeorun.com race maps are also on the website.
