EN: marine; oceanic
'Dagatan' is the adjective form of 'dagat'. So 'yamang-dagatan' is marine resources. But wait, there's more! Historically, it's also a poetic game/debate held during a wake, kinda like a pre-colonial rap battle to honor the dead. So it's either about fish or about spitting bars. Wild.
From 'dagat' + '-an' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: sea; ocean
