Mabini Protected Landscape and Seascape

The protected area spans 6,106 hectares along the Davao Gulf coast, featuring mangrove forests, white sand beaches, and extensive coral reef networks.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources designated this location as a wilderness area in 1981 before establishing it as a protected landscape in 2000.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices within the protected zone while participating in conservation efforts to preserve marine resources.

The site contains multiple access points through nine rivers flowing into Davao Gulf, located 80 kilometers east of Davao City.

The marine environment houses 46 genera of Scleractina corals and serves as a feeding ground for eleven species of cetaceans.
