There should be more SANCTUARIES along the coasts of the Philippines to regrow / re-populate the marine life to assure a sustainable food source.

You have a lot of cool vlogs but this is definitely one of my favorites. It's so moving how everyone works together to cultivate coral reefs. With as much damage as we've done and still do to earth it's just so great to know the other side of the coin trying to help the environment. I can't wait for your future revisit of that site.

2:40 - "Re-using trash as Artificial Reef in the water. So That's pretty cool!" - Finn Snow. That's a good idea, Finn. You should champion the idea or project to collect trashed plastics and melt them and convert them into Artificial Reef structures. This will catch on like wildfire. These plastic artificial reef structures could be habitats for commercial oysters or green mussels.

[@milacaibal3976]

Finn, you are very good at explaining things and information. Please apply as a teacher in a college or university in the Philippines to teach marine life and how to conserve them. You are an asset to any school and can educate many young Filipino students. Good luck, and thank you and your teammates for helping our country and how to save the Marine life and protect the environment.❤❤❤
