    Excerpt
    Tañon Strait, a 161-kilometer strip which separates the islands of Cebu and Negros, is celebrating nearly two decades as a protected area. It is host to 62 percent of the country's coral species, plus 14 species of whales and dolphins. Declared as the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape (TSPS) by then-president Fidel Ramos on May 27, 1998, the area provides seafood and jobs for 42 towns, cities and municipalities.
