In a letter sent to a host of Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) officials, Cagayan provincial government officials, and Senate and House of Representatives members, the groups said they were “alarmed” that such a project was approved in the first place.
“We are alarmed that the (DENR) permitted another activity that is destructive and has irreversible negative impact to our marine ecosystems,” read the letter.
“We call on your offices to stop this project and investigate to ensure the protection of our people’s rights and the sustainable use of our natural marine resources,” it further read.
