Pamalakaya seeks DENR help to stop mining firm’s dredging ops in Cavite

However, Pamalakaya believes that the project will push through given that the Manila Waterfront Project is a joint partnership with Manila’s local government unit.

“Dredging-related stressors such as movement of solid particles, habitat loss, discharging of toxic contaminants, and noise pollution inflict damage to marine biodiversity. It can cause trauma and even death to fish species that thrive in the bottom of the sea. Consequently, it has a huge impact on the livelihood of small fishers who would endure a decrease in fish catch,” said Pamalakaya national chair Fernando Hicap.

The P34.38-billion Manila Waterfront City project involves the construction of a central business district, a gateway, a marina, as well as entertainment, health, and education hubs. It also aims to decongest Manila and boost opportunities in the capital.
