local.seafdecaqd.extract | Returning senatorial candidate Loren Legarda on Sunday stressed the importance of conserving and preserving the country’s coral reefs to sustain the basic needs of Filipinos and to promote livelihood. “Beyond aesthetics, the degradation of coral reefs directly affects our daily lives, specifically our health, food supply, and livelihood. Thus, we have to continuously educate our people about its vital role in the continuity of life in the sea,” Legarda said. “They protect coastlines from wave and storm erosion and function as nurseries and habitats for thousands of marine species. It is estimated that one square kilometer of healthy coral reef can support as much as 35 metric tons of live fish,” she added. | en |
