As part of its program to raise public awareness and community support for the protection and conservation of marine resources, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) opened a pawikan (sea turtle) nesting site in Magalawa Island in Palauig, Zambales. In a statement, DENR Masinloc's Community Environment and Natural Resources Office head Ariel Mendoza said the coastline of the 42-hectare Magalawa Island has been an important nesting ground for marine turtles. It is located within the 7,000-hectare Masinloc and Oyon Bay Protected Seascape and Landscape (MOBPLS).
