| local.seafdecaqd.extract | Integrated energy company Semirara Mining and Power Corporation (SMPC), together with the Department of Energy and barangay local government units, reseeded 500 endangered clams on March 16 and 17, 2022 at the 138-hectare Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) of Barangay Alegria and Tinogboc in Semirara Island, Caluya, Antique. Locally known as taklobo or manlot, the giant clams are keystone species crucial to the coral reef ecosystem and function as bioindicators of the overall health of the marine ecosystem. They are ecologically significant because they promote marine biodiversity and filter dirty seawater. These bivalves can reach four feet in length and weigh 500 pounds. | en |
