Baliangao Protected Landscape and Seascape

The Baliangao Protected Landscape and Seascape is a wetland conservation area along the coast of Danao Bay in northern Misamis Occidental, Philippines.

Situated on the territory of four barangays in the municipality of Baliangao (Misom, Sinian, Tugas and Landing), it covers 294.10 hectares (726.7 acres) of terrestrial and marine areas consisting of mangrove, sea grass and coral reef ecosystems.

[1] The Baliangao protected area occupies the shallow embayment known as Danao Bay which is an arm of the Bohol Sea near the provincial border with Zamboanga del Norte.

It was also earlier named the Baliangao Wetland Park after the rich mangrove forest of the Sinian River and eastern coast was incorporated into the area.

It provides shelter and nesting grounds for several waterbird species including the olive-backed sunbird, Philippine glossy starling, kingfisher, chestnut-breasted mannikin, black-capped oriole, spotted dove, brahminy kite, blue-capped woodpecker and common egret.
