Coral dumping linked to China

The Philippine Coast Guard expressed concern on Saturday over the dumping of crushed corals near Escoda Shoal, raising the possibility of a link to China’s potential construction plans in the West Philippine Sea.

“These are also the Chinese maritime militia vessels that we have seen in the area of Escoda Shoal. Approximately, more than 30 Chinese maritime militia who swarmed here are not leaving and the Philippine Coast Guard continues to document in case they have activities.,” Tarriela said in a Saturday news forum in Quezon City.

Tarriela pointed out that China uses corals as “pantambak ” for building islands. “That means they have to kill all the corals, as many corals as possible, for them to use that as a foundation for their island reclamation,” he explained.
