Marine scientists from the University of the Philippines have warned that dumping dolomite sand at Manila Bay would not solve the environmental woes in the area. “There are no short-cuts to a cleaner environment. The use of crushed Dolomite sand will not help solve the environmental problems in Manila Bay,” the UP Marine Science Institute said in statement, adding that dolomite sand grains may pose possible health risks and could be easily eroded when there are storms.
