Coral reefs face new El Niño threat
An international conservation group warned that the current El Niño episode may have adverse effects on the recovering corals reefs in the country.
Gregg Yan, information, education and communications officer of the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines), noted that during the 1997-1998 El Niño event, Apo Reef in Occidental Mindoro suffered heavily from increased sea surface temperatures.
