Marine Wildlife Watch of the Philippines (MWWP) began as a Facebook page in December 2009. It was primarily designed to be an outlet for knowledge and information on marine wildlife in the Philippines, particularly the mysterious and interesting marine animals like dolphins, whales, dugong, marine turtles, sharks, and rays. The Facebook page served as an information hub that contained news, videos, pictures, and other information related to marine wildlife in the Philippines.

In a span of two years, the Facebook page gained considerable support from its followers. Thus, MWWP was registered under the name Marine Wild Fauna Watch of the Philippines, a non-profit, non-stock, conservation organization under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 13, 2010.

Since then, MWWP has been involved in various projects and activities that aim for a better appreciation of the marine environment, its ecological processes, and how it affects us all in the local context.

Marine Wildlife Watch of the Philippines (MWWP) has worked on various talks, researches, workshops, and publications on marine wildlife conservation in the Philippines. On its pursuit in raising awareness among the Filipinos on the conservation and protection of marine wildlife and its home in the Philippines, MWWP has worked in partnership with the following organizations in various projects, some of which were already concluded, while others are still on-going.
