| local.seafdecaqd.extract | An outbreak of the poisonous crown of thorn starfish (COTS) has been reported in the sea off a coastal village here, threatening corals in the waters that form part of Isla Verde Passage. Jacob Meimban Jr., executive director of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau-Coastal and Marine Management Office (PAWB-CMMO) here, said they discovered and declared a COTS (Acanthasterplanci) outbreak in the waters of Barangay Pagkilatan, a 10-square-kilometer village along Verde Island Passage, which has been declared the center of marine biodiversity in the world. He said a COTS outbreak means that there are hundreds of the starfish species in one coral reef and that these are too big to be eaten by their predators—mostly fish. | en |
