A man collects thousands of dead fish washed ashore on Freedom Island along Manila Bay. Authorities are eyeing dynamite fishing, change of water temperature and low oxygen level as some of the possible causes that killed about 30 tubs of fish which were found along the coastline of Las Piñas and Parañaque cities Thursday morning
He explained that within the parts of the Bacoor Bay as well as Parañaque, the use of dynamite is no longer permitted since the area is being monitored by the Philippine Coast Guard. Hicap added that what happened was without a doubt due to poisoning since aside from fish, shellfish species were also affected.
In a statement, PAMALAKAYA’s municipal chapter in Bacoor, the Alyansa ng mga Magdaragat sa Bacoor Bay, reported that coastal towns in Cavite were also affected by the water pollution, as mussels and oysters have been recovered dead from the mussel farms located in Bacoor City.
