A group of scientists, engineers, and researchers on Sunday renewed their call to stop the dumping of crushed dolomite rocks along the shoreline of Manila Bay, and instead realign the funds allocated for the project to the government’s pandemic response. In a statement, the Agham – Advocates of Science and Technology for the People said the beach nourishment project should be stopped while the government studies its environmental implications on the bay and its ecosystem. The group said the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has continued to ignore the calls of the scientific community to halt and review the project.
