Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Angelo Reyes has directed all DENR regional offices to identify the coral reefs within their respective jurisdictions that are at risk or are already infested with the "crown of thorns", a kind of starfish.


In a memorandum, Reyes also instructed all DENR regional directors to organize and enlist the assistance of concerned groups and individuals in removing the noxious starfish from coral reefs.

                    [Summary] => 





The government has launched a campaign to rid the country’s coastlines and beaches of the destructive coral-eating starfish also known as crown of thorns.


Environment Secretary Angelo Reyes said the drive was prompted by reports of the depletion of the country’s corals due to the "massive outbreak" of the crown of thorns starfish (Ancanthaster planci).


"These giant starfishes destroy the ecosystem through its voracious appetite for coral reefs," Reyes said.

A global conservation group reported yesterday a "massive outbreak" of coral-eating starfish in various parts of the country, as the temperature continues to rise and tourists flock to different beaches nationwide.


The World Wildlife Fund for Nature-Philippines (WWF) said that the rash of the coral-eating crown of thorns starfish has been detected in many Philippine reefs, including those in Mabini, Batangas; Apo Reef off the Dumaguete coast; Puerto Galera in Mindoro; Roxas in Palawan; Bolinao in Lingayen Gulf; and Kiamba and Glan in Sarangani Bay.
