Philippines' last frontier - Palawan's marine ecosystems.
Nickelodeon is planning to build an artificial structure for an "advocate ocean protection" targeting children. Building an artificial structure, will undeniably damage and disrupt Palawan's marine ecosystems.
Greenpeace together with Save Philippine Seas, Marine Wildlife Watch of the Philippines, Environmental Legal Assistance Center - Palawan, and Oceana Philippines call on the Local Government of Palawan, Nickelodeon (Viacom International Media Networks), and Coral World Park Undersea Resorts Inc., to junk their plan to build a 400-hectare underwater theme park in Coron, Palawan.
The group demands if they are sincere and serious about marine conservation, the money allocated for the underwater theme park should be invested in marine protected areas, sustainable livelihoods for local communities, and environmental education programs.
