Marine experts: Stop sand mining in Lingayen Gulf
Excerpt
Asserting that the proposed massive black sand mining in the waters off Pangasinan province threatens Lingayen Gulf, the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI) added its voice to the growing clamor to stop the project that is seen to destroy a critical marine environment. UPMSI said Lingayen Gulf, a major fishing ground with extensive mariculture activities that traverses both Pangasinan and La Union provinces, was at risk of suffering “irreversible” damage when the seabed was disturbed.
