Pabiton 04:30 AM, Nov 15, 2023 

Good day! I am Patrice Pabiton, a 4th year BS Geodetic Engineering student at the University of the Philippines  - Diliman, pursuing a thesis entitled "Determination of Optimal Fishing Grounds for Roundscad (Galunggong) in the Philippine Waters Through Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Satellite-Derived Sea Surface Temperature and Chlorophyll-a Concentration."

May I request access to the recently updated shapefile and attributes table containing information on FMAs in the Philippines? Acquiring a copy of these will provide invaluable information for my research. Thank you!
