Investing in the Philippines' marine environment
Excerpt
As I have traveled around the Philippines, from Palawan to Bohol to Surigao, I have seen the magnificent beauty of Philippine seas firsthand. The Philippines boasts one of the most diverse marine environments in the world, with beautiful colorful corals and magnificent fish, turtles and sting rays. Marine scientists refer to the Philippines as the “center of the center” of aquatic biodiversity; it has more marine species per unit area than anywhere on earth.
