Bokashi mud balls seen to improve bay's water quality
Excerpt
Some 6,000 Bokashi mud balls will be made and thrown into the Estero de Abad in Malate district, Manila, to help improve its water quality, the Manila Bay Sunset Partnership Program Inc. (MBSPPI) said over the weekend. The effort to clean the creek is part of the Manila Bay cleanup activity, which the MBSPPI conducts annually. Estero de Abad connects to the Manila Bay. For the last 13 years, the MBSPPI – headed by the Land Bank of the Philipines – has been hauling garbage from Manila Bay.
