Tourism activities damage 70 percent of Boracay corals—study. Unmonitored tourism-related activities such as diving and snorkeling have been degrading the coral reef ecosystem in the world-famous Boracay beaches over the past two decades, a Japanese-funded study said. In a five-year study called the Coastal Ecosystem Conservation and Adaptive Management, which was conducted from 2010 to 2015, the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (Jica) said coral cover in Boracay declined by 70.5 percent from 1988 to 2011. Through analyzed satellite images, the study also noted that the highest decrease in the 23-year period was recorded in recent years from 2008 to 2011 when tourist arrivals went up by 38.4 percent. “We hope that LGUs (local government units) and policy makers will be able to use scientific and tecnological knowledge to address critical environment issues affecting the study’s pilot sites,” said Jica senior representative Takahiro Morita in a statement.
