Can the Manila bay handle marine life?
The inner portions of Manila Bay near the city and Cavite are almost devoid of large fishes and marine life due to frequent oil spillage and rampant fishing. Mangroves are present in some areas. The outer portions of Manila Bay near Bataan and Batangas are home to large populations of bottle-nose dolphins as well as large schools of fishes. A study conducted early this year concluded that about 10 years will be needed to completely clear Manila Bay of trash, debris, and pollution. Kidding aside, the only place in Manila Bay were all forms of marine life abound are in Manila Bay’s Ocean Park.
