“I have coordinated with various officials to make sure that all canals that leads to the bay will have a catchment basin,” she said.

“Here in Mati, all leads to the bay. We have to make sure that all water leading to the bay be treated and recycled,” she added.

Rabat said the local government will be providing catchment basins to ensure that no plastics and other garbage would reach the bay.

Pujada Bay was recently cited by the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club.

The Pujada Bay Landscape and Seascape was declared as a protected area under the National Integrated Protected Areas System through Presidential Proclamation 431.

It covers about 20,0887 hectares of protected landscapes and seascapes.
