As hundreds of Chinese ships continue to violate Philippine maritime boundaries, they also bring incalculable ecological damage to these areas through what could be the biggest insult to Filipinos—their poop. | FMangosingINQ

“When the ships don’t move, the poop piles up,” Derr said.

For her presentation, Derr focused on Union Banks, which is within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone but is also occupied by China and Vietnam. On reefs, Derr said the excess chlorophyll-a indicates the amount of plant material, such as fleshy algae that is on the reef. “Those dark areas which are areas without chlorophyll have disappeared, and more high white areas have increased and the overall loss of differentiation of the reef features is caused by plants, overtaking those distinct features,” Derr said.

Other factors, like overfishing, fishers’ use of rocks as anchors, and dynamite fishing further exacerbate the devastation in the area. Many of the inhabitants of the reefs are food for the fish that make up the supply for nations around the South China Sea, including the Philippines.
