The first stop is Reef Discovery, where visitors can snorkel or scuba dive while exploring San Salvador Island’s two adjacent ecotourism projects: a 2-hectare giant clam (taklobo) farm and the San Salvador marine protected area (MPA).

Beth Sarmiento, secretary of Samahang Pangkabuhayan sa San Salvador, the people’s organization (PO) in charge of this destination, says the MPA used to be a “dead zone” of corals destroyed by dynamite and cyanide fishing.

“More than 10 years ago, there was an alarming decline in fish population so fisherfolk and residents sought the help of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute in Pangasinan to mitigate the threat,” she says. Now it has become a coral farm where the taklobo species are restocked and reseeded before they are transplanted in identified areas within the island’s 127-ha territory.

Today, San Salvador Island holds the distinction of being the first community-run MPA and a model for coastal resource management in the country. The PO works with the local government in documenting the population of giant clams, stingrays and various reef fish found there.  Read More:  http://exploringmycuriosity.blogspot.com/2015/06/san-salvador-magalawa-island.html

San Salvador Island is adjacent to Magalawa but is part of the town of Masinloc. It probably took us less than 30 minutes to cover the distance and we were soon bobbing up and down amidst the bed of corals and giant clams like kids. The snorkeling wasn’t too spectacular but since we haven’t snorkeled in a while it was a decent enough treat for us.   Read More:   https://shoestringdiary.wordpress.com/2017/01/17/serendipity-in-zambales-the-bacala-sandbar-and-rest-house/
