JCI Manila and Gold Seas Tuna Chunks launch the first and artificial underwater exhibition that will become artificial coral reefs on November 24 at Tingloy, Batangas.
Sea of Life Museum aimed to revive the damaged marine life, protect the beach, boost tourism, as well as provide more jobs.
Mainly, this is to address the ongoing degradation of marine life caused by pollution, coral bleaching, destruction of mangroves, and illegal fishing methods. Over the 26,000 kilometers of coral reefs, only 5% of them remain in good condition.
It could take thousands of years for coral reefs to naturally recover. That’s why artificial and long-lasting coral reefs are necessary to hasten the marine life recovery and maintain the productive balance.
These multi-purpose artworks will help serve the function of natural coral reefs which serve as nurseries for growing fish and protect the shoreline from erosion.
The Sea of Life Museum project is supported by Chivas Regal, NAVSOG (Philippine Navy Seals), Philippine Navy, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the Municipality of Tingloy.
