A few months ago , sand and soil from a road construction site in the
Southern Philippines was dumped directly off the mountainside into the
sea below . Now 3-4 km of coral reefs are in danger from the resulting
sediment overload and the corals right at the "dumpsite" are starting
to die off. Any suggestions on damage control measures that can be
applied immediately or any advice on minimizing further damage to the
reef / controlling the sediment at the source would be most welcome.
Thanks!
