The marine ecosystem, particularly coral reefs, faces an imminent threat from illegal blast fishing practices. Our proposal seeks funding to integrate a real-time detection system with immediate coral rehabilitation efforts, ensuring both the deterrence of harmful activities and the rapid recovery of affected marine habitats.

The practice of dropping explosives to kill fish quickly is prevalent globally, despite being illegal.

The prompt and effective response from law enforcement has not only demonstrated a steadfast commitment towards eradicating fish bombing but has also fostered an environment where law abidance is acknowledged and appreciated.

The practice of fish bombing is also destroying our marine habitats. Between June 2014 and February 2020, 2,832 blasts, which destroyed vital fish habitats, were recorded.

Authorities apprehended eight fishermen for alleged dynamite fishing in the sea of Limay, Bataan on Tuesday, September 19.
