Mayor to protect 2 whale sharks spotted off Mactan Island

 

CEBU CITY – Although they are not native to Mactan Island waters, two whale sharks were discovered in the seawater off the coast of Lapu-Lapu City on Monday, according to Mayor Junard Chan.
The appearance of the two giants, locally known as "butanding," astounded a group of people who saw and videotaped them while passing by the area on Saturday.
He promised to put measures in place to protect sea creatures and "make our oceans a safe home" for them.

"Ang nagpadala niining video kay si Ricky Blesario nga nakasaksi gayud sa kaanindot niining maanyag nga mga mananap nga gawasnong naglangoylangoy sa dagat nga nakasaksi gayud sa kaanindot niining maanyag (The sender of this video is Ricky Blesario, who witnessed the beauty of these beautiful animals swimming freely in the sea)," Chan wrote on Facebook.

On Saturday, Blesario wrote on social media, "After vertical jigging session, personal encounter with these two friendly beautiful big whale sharks at Punta Enganio Lapu Lapu near Artera." God's beautiful creation"

Although "butanding" are common in Cebu's southern town of Oslob, particularly in Barangay Tan-awan, where hundreds of local and foreign tourists visit for whale shark-watching activities, the people of Lapu-Lapu saw the gentle giants for the second time.

A whale shark was caught in a fisherman's net in the seawaters of Barangay Maribago in June 2021.

Boyla Gilig, a diver, reported that it was feeding in the area when it was accidentally trapped.

Divers have been working with the local fishery office to protect the butanding since then.

The City Agriculture and Fishery Office, according to Chan, will conduct a study to identify areas that could be a safe haven for whale sharks, where they can swim freely without interference from village residents.

"We must protect them so they can live in peace," he added. (PNA)

The major global environmental issues that must be addressed by 2030

Hình ảnh
Climate change is the most serious environmental issue that humanity will face in the coming decade, but it is not the only one. We'll look at some of them, from water scarcity and biodiversity loss to waste management, and discuss the challenges that lie ahead. The third decade of the twenty-first century has begun, and the environmental challenges ahead of us, as outlined in the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, are numerous. This global plan of action, adopted in 2015, proposes specific measures to achieve a world that is fairer, more prosperous, and more environmentally conscious within ten years. In this regard, the UN warns that we are running out of time, and the question now is whether we have enough time to save the planet.
