Greenpeace divers together with scientists from Silliman University, Apo island community members, the Marine Protected Area Management Board and Apo island dive wardens, unfurl a banner reading "Save our Seas".
The Marine Protected Area (MPA) was destroyed by Typhoon Pablo in December 2012. An increase in extreme weather events is one of the predicted effects of climate change. Greenpeace is in Apo island as part of its Philippine leg of the “Ocean Defenders Tour of South East Asia".
