Dutch Ambassador to the Philippines Marielle Garadaets recently held a consultation meeting with Cavite fisherfolk to look into the impacts of dredging activities to people and the environment in Manila Bay.
In particular, the Dutch ambassador is looking into the alleged adverse environmental and social impact of the dredging operation of Boskalis, a Dutch maritime construction firm tapped by local corporations involved in one of the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.
They alleged the activities cause the disruption of marine life and are driving away of fish due to noise pollution caused by dredging equipment. The ongoing activities also trigger bigger waves and increased tidal currents in dredging sites. Lastly, the group said the ongoing activities are causing a drastic decline in fish stocks, blaming it to dredging-related pollution, ecological disruptions, and stressors.
