00:00 The possibility of flooding and damage to fisheries

00:04 is what experts are seeing

00:07 as an effect of the reclamation activities in Manila Bay

00:10 if it continues.

00:12 And Maki Polido was able to point it out.

00:14 For decades, groups of fishermen have been pushing

00:21 the occupation of Manila Bay.

00:23 They say it's not just a battle, but a national issue.

00:26 If there's no more fish to catch,

00:28 it will result in a shortage.

00:30 This will have a huge impact on the shortage

00:34 in the future supply of food.

00:39 Fisheries could be affected,

00:43 according to Dr. Eugene Herrera

00:45 of the UP National Hydraulic Research Center.

00:48 They studied the effect of water flow

00:50 if the 20,000 hectares of reclamation in Manila Bay

00:54 is continued in the ADSANEDA Sustainability Master Plan.

00:57 Because the dams block the water from entering the sea,

01:01 it will affect the salinity of the water

01:04 in the shallow areas of the sea.

01:06 The shallow areas of bays are the breeding grounds

01:10 for aquatic flora and fauna

01:13 that depend on some salinity levels.

01:17 So, there's an environmental effect.

01:21 There's also a potential for flooding.

01:25 The water will be saved because reclamation is prohibited

01:28 from the water coming from the watersheds and rivers

01:31 to Manila Bay.

01:32 This is possible, especially if heavy rain falls

01:35 in a short period of time.

01:37 One day's water accumulation

01:41 will not really cause any impact.

01:44 But if the water accumulates in two seconds,

01:47 the water will be saved from being thrown away.

01:53 It can be avoided if the design of the reclamation project

01:57 has enough water.

01:59 It should come with management or operation and maintenance.

02:02 If you don't regularly clean such channels or openings

02:08 for flushing, through time,

02:11 the discharge capacity can be limited.

02:15 But in the direction of GMA Integrated News,

02:20 in some reclaimed areas, including the Philippine Coast Guard,

02:23 some areas have been cut off.

02:26 Like this area where the water will be saved

02:29 from the waterways through large reclamation projects.

02:33 For now, the reclamation projects in Manila Bay

02:36 have been suspended while studying the environmental impact.

02:39 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, 24 Hours.

02:44 My fellow countrymen, we are with you 24 hours.
