The management office of the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) appealed to residents and visitors to be more environmentally responsible shun the practice of disposing garbage and other debris into the sea. The Tubbataha Management Office (TMO) made the appeal Wednesday and bared that it continues to collect garbage in the world-famous reefs and dive spot. Angelique Songco of the TMO said despite incessant pleas to the public, they continue to collect marine wastes and debris in the Tubbataha Reefs that threaten to health of its corals and marine life.
