Damage to Batangas coral reefs feared
Excerpt
Marine conservationists are trying to determine the extent of damage to coral reefs after a cargo ship ran aground at a marine sanctuary in the town of Tingloy, Batangas province, at the height of Typhoon Quinta (international name: Molave). Princess Aldovino, who chairs the management committee of Batalang Bato Marine Sanctuary, said portions of the reef system were damaged but her team could not document the extent since the MV Princess Anabelle is still marooned off Barangay Sto. Tomas in Tingloy. She said though that the shipowner, who is from Tablas Island in Romblon province, had already been in touch with the community and was planning to visit the site this week.
