I have had the privilege to be involved with a group of fishermen who are trying to create their own artificial reefs to replace the natural reefs that malevolent fishermen and nature have destroyed. In the new reefs the mother fish will be able to lay their eggs safely, as they once did in the natural coral reefs, and the supply of fish can be increased. If repeated hundreds of times in different places, the stocks of fish in the Leyte Gulf may be restored.
