Coral bleaching hits Tubbataha due to extreme heat
Excerpt
The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) is suffering from coral bleaching due to prolonged heat brought by the El Niño phenomenon, a report from the Tubbataha Management Office said. TRNP Superintendent Angelique Songco said the coral bleaching was initially thought to be “minor” and at “a lesser degree than expected” until she saw the photos taken from the park’s South Park dive site of the reef’s north atoll on May 27.
