    Alexandra Cousteau is in the Philippines to help bring attention to local marine conservation issues in the country, including illegal fishing, the dwindling sardine catch, and the protection of two important biodiversity areas in the Philippines: the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape in the Visayas and the vast Benham Rise off Luzon.

    The granddaughter of legendary undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau, Alexandra is a senior adviser with international organization Oceana. Her itinerary in the Philippines includes meeting with government officials and private sector representatives to push for programs that support local fisheries and the implementation of the enforcement plan in Tañon Strait.
