DENR, tameme sa unti-unting pagkawala ng dolomite sand sa Manila Bay

ni Mary Gutierrez Almirañez | May 23, 2021




‘Di maipaliwanag ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) ang nangyari sa dolomite sand na itinambak nila sa Manila Bay bilang bahagi ng rehabilitation program, batay sa pahayag ni DENR Undersecretary Jonas Leones.


Aniya, “Siguro, too early to say na nag-wash out na siya.” Kaugnay ito sa sinabi ng Oceana Philippines nu’ng Abril na nag-e-erode na ang dolomite sand. “From December 2020 to February 2021, this dolomite beach has eroded by at least 300 square meters. They are refilling it again and even extending the area,” sabi pa ni Oceana Vice-President Gloria Ramos.


Sagot naman ni Leones, normal lamang ang pag-erode ng buhangin sa mga dagat. Paliwanag pa niya, “We have put in place 'yung mga geotubes to ensure na 'di mawa-wash out 'yung mga dolomite.” Sa ngayon ay inaabangan na nila ang pagsapit ng tag-ulan upang malaman kung epektibo ang geotubes para maiwasan ang soil erosion.


“Gusto natin mag-rainy season na dahil para once and for all, we can see and evaluate kung talagang effective 'yung ating beach nourishment. Pinag-aralan namin ‘yan and we are confident na kahit bagyuhin 'yan, kahit ano'ng ulan man, nandiyan pa rin 'yung beach nourishment,” dagdag ni Leones.
