Zambo City to build Marine Park

THE local government, with the assistance of the Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST), will establish a marine park at Paseo del Mar, Zamboanga City’s number one attraction site.

Mayor Celso Lobregat said the marine park will feature variety of fish species currently being grown at the ZSCMST’s Aquaculture Laboratory.

The project is aimed to give every resident and visitor a chance to get watch and observe a variety of fishes, turtles and other forms of marine life.

Lobregat said the ZSCMST headed by President Dr. Milavel Nazario has been doing many things for the beautification, progress and prosperity of this city, citing the numerous other contributions of the college in the past.

He said the marine park will be an added attraction at Paseo del Mar.

The project is underway and will be a collaborative effort of the City Government, ZSCMST as well as the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the City Agriculturist Office, Lobregat said. (Bong Garcia)
