The continuous rise for the preservation and protection of endangered marine life
due to the detrimental actions of humankind, is still an endeavor that is being faced by the
world. The Philippines is a country blessed with a wide range of biodiversity, from land
to the sea. However, this comes with the responsibility of safeguarding these natural
resources by not only the government but also by the people themselves. To address the
issue, this study will make use of questionnaires and interviews with key individuals in
the field to identify the need and functions of the facilities. According to the gathered
information, it reveals that there is a need for education and protection of the marine
environment and its endangered inhabitants. This led to the design of the proposed
marine biology museum and pawikan rescue and rehabilitation center, partnered with a
restaurant offering locally sourced cuisine where people can relax. This features three
major buildings; Marine Biology Museum, Pawikan Rescue and Rehabilitation Center
and Restaurant, along with utilities that support these facilities, all planned with function
and form in mind. The design addresses the needs aforementioned, providing the
neccesary facilities to educate the people, as well as preserve and protect the endangered
marine life.
