|| DA-NFRDI contributed to the development of a national capacity-building agenda for sustainable rural development during the National Convergence Initiative for Sustainable Rural Development - NCI SRD Training Needs Analysis Workshop held on July 28โ€“30, 2026, in Legazpi City, Albay.

Representing DA-NFRDI, Education Section Chief Cyrenes Moncawe participated as a member of the NCI-SRD Knowledge Management Component Working Group (KM CWG), joining national focal persons, component working groups (CWGs), Regional Convergence Initiative Technical Working Groups (RCI-TWGs), and the NCI-SRD National Secretariat in identifying priority competencies needed to strengthen the implementation of the NCI-SRD Roadmap and the National Capacity Development Plan 2024โ€“2028.

The workshop served as a strategic platform to assess organizational competencies across the NCI-SRD network, identify capacity gaps, and formulate targeted training interventions that will enhance the effectiveness of interagency collaboration and rural development initiatives.

Sharing from South China Sea Fisheries Science Working Group - FSWG

Dr. Mudjekeewis Santos, Scientist V of DA-NFRDI, is among the Filipino scientists contributing to regional fisheries science through the Fisheries Science Working Group. He helped lead the second Common Fisheries Resource Analysis (CFRA) on "kawakawa" (mackerel tuna), providing scientific evidence to support sustainable fisheries management. The study's findings were presented at a regional seminar attended by scientists and policymakers from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, highlighting the role of collaborative science in shaping fisheries policies across the region.

|| Researchers from DA-NFRDI participated in the 2nd Fisheries Management and Scientific Working Group (FMSWG) Meeting on July 27, 2026, at DA-BFAR Central Office in Quezon City to strengthen collaboration and align research priorities that support evidence-based fisheries management.

Convened by DA-BFAR, the meeting gathered experts from BFAR and NFRDI to enhance the science-management interface by identifying priority research and development (R&D) initiatives that will inform fisheries policies, programs, and management decisions.

The FMSWG was established to ensure that sound scientific information and technological innovations are readily available to DA-BFAR's top management, providing a strong scientific basis for evidence-based fisheries policies and sustainable resource management.

The Department of Agriculture-National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (DA-NFRDI) concluded its three-day Olymfish 2026 on July 28-30 at the Project 6 Multipurpose Building in Quezon City as part of the Civil Servants' Health and Wellness Month, bringing employees together through sports, friendly competition, and team-building activities.

In her message, NFRDI Executive Director Maria Theresa Mutia emphasized that strong teamwork is built through shared experiences and encouraged employees to participate in the annual sportsfest to strengthen camaraderie and foster a collaborative work culture.

Guided by the theme "Syensyang may saya, nagsasama-sama ay nagkakaisa," this year's event highlighted the value of teamwork, unity, and collaboration through sports and recreational activities inspired by fisheries and aquatic science.

Four teams (Black Mahi-mahi, Red Lapu-lapu, Green Hasa-hasa, and Blue Pla-pla) competed in a parade of colors, torch-lighting ceremony, Mr. and Ms. Olymfish, cheer dance competition, basketball, mixed volleyball, chess, mixed doubles badminton, mixed doubles pickleball, and Filipino-inspired fun games.

At the end of the competition, Black Mahi-mahi emerged as the overall champion of Olymfish 2026.

Coined from the words "Olympics" and "fish," Olymfish reflects NFRDI's commitment to promoting employee wellness, work-life balance, and stronger workplace collaboration.

|| DA-NFRDI, together with academic institutions and conservation partners, strengthened efforts to conserve and sustainably manage Philippine freshwater eels through the Philippine Aquatic Red List Committee (PARLC) 2nd Assessment Workshop on Anguillid Species held on July 21-24, 2026 in Dumaguete City.

The four-day workshop brought together freshwater eel experts, researchers, and government representatives to advance scientific assessments of Philippine Anguilla species, review relevant conservation policies, and generate baseline information that will support national and global conservation initiatives, including future International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments.

Sharing from IRRI:

How do you turn scientific and climate data into actionable advisories for end users?

The Philippine Department of Agricultureโ€“National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (DA-NFRDI), through its FISHCORE Project, visited IRRI to learn from the development journey of the Rice Crop Manager Advisory Service (RCMAS) and Climate+, from concept and design to implementation and key lessons learned. RCMAS is a free digital tool that helps farmers improve their crop nutrient management practices.

Climate+ is based on RCMAS and integrates DOST-PAGASA's seasonal and short-term weather forecasts to deliver weather-informed, crop stage-specific guidance that helps farmers reduce climate risks and protect their harvests.

As NFRDI develops a Climate Information Service (CIS) for fisheries and aquaculture, the benchmarking visit provided an opportunity to draw on IRRIโ€™s experience in transforming scientific and climate data into timely, localized, and actionable advisories that support better decision-making on the ground.

|| DA-NFRDI through the Fisheries Research and Development Center (FFRDC), in collaboration with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), conducted the Preliminary Assessment Workshop for the Red List Assessment of Marine Ornamental Fishes in the Philippines on July 14โ€“16, 2026, at Hotel Kimberly Manila. The workshop brought together researchers and experts to assess the conservation status of selected marine ornamental fish species and validate scientific data gathered from field surveys and data mining.

The activity supports the development of the country's first National Red List of Marine Ornamental Fishes, a critical tool for biodiversity conservation, fisheries management, and sustainable trade. Through this initiative, the Philippine Aquatic Red List Committee aims to generate credible scientific evidence that will guide policy recommendations, strengthen species protection, and promote the long-term conservation of the Philippines' rich marine biodiversity.
