Fishers question Manila Bay reclamation projects before DENR
November 1, 2019 12:05 am
MANILA, Philippines — A fisherfolk federation has filed an official complaint with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources against three reclamation projects in Manila Bay.
They appealed for a comprehensive investigation of the effects these projects would have on the marine environment and on fisherfolk communities, the publication of the Environment Impact Statements corresponding to the issued Environmental Compliance Certificates, and a cease-and-desist order for the projects that violate the goals of “genuine rehabilitation.”
An EIS is a document that project proponents prepare and submit to the Environmental Management Bureau, the agency that issues ECCs.
