Environmental advocates are readying the filing before the court of a Writ of Kalikasan to stop the dumping of allegedly hazardous crushed dolomite along the coast of Manila Bay.

The watchdog convenor noted that the jurisdictional requirement for a writ is met, given the 190-km bay covers two provinces and several cities.
