The Verde Island Passage (VIP) in the Philippines is known for its highly diverse and abundant marine ecosystems and resources: mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, seaweed communities, coral reefs, fish, and megafauna. Over 7 million people in the surrounding provinces are reliant on these resources for their livelihoods including fishing, aquaculture, and tourism.

Illustration of a wind vector, the two- or three-dimensional vector describing the instantaneous wind magnitude and direction at a point (often using Cartesian coordinates; i.e. X and Y wind vectors). The term can also apply to the resultant wind vector which is sometimes drawn as an arrow with length proportional to wind speed.
