                    [Summary] => 

Seeing an average of 57 fish within 250 square meters (above photo) may not be much compared to other dive spots but for the Minantaw Marine Park and Sanctuary (MMPS), it is already an underwater Eden considering that five years ago the number of fish there was fewer than 14 over the same area.  Reef fish like surgeonfish, wrasses, angelfish, and large fish such as snappers, emperors, and groupers are returning to the marine park area created through the partnerships among Project Seahorse Foundation (PSF), the United Fishers of Caubian, and Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of the Caltex brand of fuels and lubricants.
