A Filipina scholar in Japan who recently completed her PhD studies will soon be mapping seagrasses in the Philippines using remote sensing technology.

Ayin Tamondong, an assistant professor at the University of the Philippines Diliman, earned her doctorate degree in Global Engineering for Development, Environment, and Society at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

"Seagrass beds in the Philippines and in the world are among natural resources under thread by multiple human-induced stress and there is lack of effective conservation and management solutions for them," Tamondong said.
