Dynamite fishing decimates oceans

Nothing beats dynamite fishing for sheer efficiency in the Philippines. But stopping dynamite and other illegal fishing has taken on a new urgency. According to a survey of Philippine coral reefs conducted from 2015 to 2017, there are no longer any reefs in excellent condition, and 90 percent were classified as either poor or fair. Dynamite fishing destroys both the food chain and the corals where the fish nest and grow. Without healthy corals, the ecosystem and the fish that live within it begin to die off.
