5/30/2017

Comments

 
​Cebu is blessed with numerous wonders of nature that has attracted the attention of both local and international tourists. These natural wonders can be found in nearly all parts of the island. One way for Cebuanos to protect these natural wonders is to establish marine sanctuaries, which are found in many places around Cebu. One of these marine sanctuaries is located in the southwestern town of Dumanjug.

Marine Sanctuary

A marine sanctuary is a marine protected area where fishing, shell collection, seaweed collection, and other extractive activities are prohibited. Human activities are also limited, including access to the sanctuary itself. The limitations are set in place to ensure the protection of the ecosystem in the area.

Camboang Marine Sanctuary

The Camboang Marine Sanctuary is located in Barangay Camboang, Dumanjug, Cebu. It was established in 1997 and covers a total area of 4.8 hectares. The marine sanctuary is located in a National Integrated Protected Areas System or NIPAS area. The NIPAS Act provides the structure for the establishment and management of protected areas in the archipelago. It protects these areas from destructive human exploration.

It is an ideal place for divers to explore the underwater world since it is home to numerous marine species that thrive in the area. The marine sanctuary in Camboang is a community-based marine sanctuary that is a part of the Coastal Resource Management Project in the country.
