On January 18, 1979, Mindanao Times, the island’s oldest newspaper, carried this headline: “Bridge to link city and Samal.”
While most people are euphoric about this recent development, there are those who think the bridge should be realigned as it will be built over Pakiputan Strait, particularly along Samal’s Paradise Island to Costa Marine stretch. The “vital pursuit” was also witnessed by representatives from Ecoteneo, an environmental group based in Ateneo de Davao University, and the local government units of Samal City.
* Hard coral colonies – massive helmet corals, eye corals, branching cabbage corals and the blue coral – were scattered thinly in the area. “Large mounds of dead corals were also recorded within the 15-20 feet depth of Station 1 and 2 and the sediment in this area is sandy-coral rubble substrate,” said the report.
* At the surface of point 89, the bottom – around 5-8 feet – was observed to be a mixture of rubbles and algae. The team also found a seagrass community, live corals, soft corals, fishes and dead corals covered with algae.
