HERE’S an excerpt from a story from the Inquirer Southern Luzon Bureau:
MASBATE CITY–Four youths here have found blogging a chance to tell the world not only about the beauty of the seas surrounding this island province but also about the threats that could doom their rich marine ecosystems.
Representing the country at the international forum “Fishes Feed Us,” Ralph Cedie Fabon, 13, Kristine Yentyl Esber, 14, Soccii Nenotchka Tuason, 15, and Philip Joseph Alarcon, 15, all from Masbate, joined the exchange of ideas with youths from India, Malaysia, Philippines, and the United States on the global fish crisis.
The Fishes Feed Us blog was a project of the Arts and Science Collaborations Inc., a nongovernment organization based in New York City devoted to exploring the intersections of arts and science.

A beautiful project, there is a growing support for protecting our marine ecosystems because of various efforts such as these. I support this wholeheartedly.
These new eco-warriors should look into the constant illegal fishing and other anomalies being done in our marine sanctuary Tubbhataha reef involving Chinese fishing vessels and government agencies which seem to protect these activities.
