This year's World Ocean Day highlights Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), vital spaces that help protect marine biodiversity and allow ecosystems to recover and thrive. ๐๐
MPAs often have rules such as no fishing, no anchoring on reefs and limits on other activities that could damage these fragile ecosystems. Some of the most spectacular dive sites in the Philippines are protected as an MPA.
The effects aren't always obvious on a single dive, but over time healthy fish populations, resilient reefs and thriving marine habitats are all signs that protection works. ๐ชธ๐
