Our utility model, “A Mechanized Tropical Seaweed Harvester,” is now officially registered with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL)!

Developed by our very own Dr. Floredel D. Galon (Reg. No. 2/2026/050100), this innovation is protected from August 18, 2026 until February 4, 2033. It brings modern efficiency to traditional seaweed farming and uplifts our coastal communities.

Congratulations, Dr. Galon, and thank you to all research partners for championing sustainable aquaculture and university-led innovation. Mabuhay!
