Environment Secretary Jim Sapulna on Wednesday ordered the creation of a new team to conduct study on the coastal waters of Boracay Island’s recurring algal bloom. “I am still forming a team. I want the study conducted by the University of the Philippines’ Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. We will work together to make the report credible,” he said.
