A vast marine protected area off the island of Aroroy in Masbate recently witnessed the “return to life” of coral reefs, following the steady deployment of close to 3,000 reef balls in a determined bid to rehabilitate the area. The Phil Gold Processing & Refining Corporation (PGPRC), a gold processing company in Aroroy, Masbate said it has made substantial progress in marine life renewal in the adjoining communities’ marine resources, since it began the environmental restoration project in 2013.
