For the 39th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) held on July 13–14, 2017, the National academy of Science and Technology Philippines (NAST PHL) adopted the theme: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be its overarching theme, with focus on SDG No. 14 Life below Water. The Philippines being an archipelago has more water than land. Thus, the country’s water resources should be adequately developed. Our seas are not only a source of food. They are a source of industrial raw materials, such as seaweeds and algae, and source of active ingredients of pharmaceutical products and cosmetics.
