Groups strengthen efforts to protect ‘pawikan’ nesting site, coral reefs in Subic Bay
Excerpt
Carrying trash bags, local licensed scuba divers went into the waters off All Hands Beach Resort here on Friday to collect underwater garbage as part of a multisectoral initiative to protect the marine and coastal environment in this economic zone. The divers were tapped by a group composed of officials from several government and private organizations who have been involved in the conservation of a major pawikan (marine turtle) nesting site and the restoration of damaged coral reefs in Subic Bay since 2012.
