The Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Ecosystems Research and Development (DENR-ERDB) will conduct the 15-month vulnerability study of the Manila Bay along with the Ramsar Convention-recognized wetland – the 175-hectare Las Piñas Parañaque Critical Habitat Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA). ERDB Director Henry Adornado said the study includes inventory of biophysical information on the bay. “Part of the project is a study of the coastal and watershed areas in Manila Bay against selected environmental hazards,” he said.
