Your Request You asked for Mangrove Research Center.

Your dedication to exploring this ecologically significant project as part of your architecture thesis is commendable, and we appreciate your interest in seeking guidance from our office. While our current resources lack specific guidelines on space requirements for a Mangrove Research Center, we can share insights from our experience with a former mangrove research center in Pagbilao, Quezon. This center, occupying an approximate total area of 1,300 sqm, featured a water and soil laboratory along with office facilities. We appreciate your consideration of our office as a valuable resource for your research and look forward to contributing to the success of your architectural endeavors. If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011).
