Richest Marine Park
The Tubbataha Reefs can be found in Sulu Sea. This reef is considered as the world’s richest bio-geographic area. It was declared as the country’s first national marine park in 1988. The marine park covers 33,200 hectares and contains what is believe to be the world’s largest grouping of marine life. The Scientists claimed that more than 300 coral species, and at least 40 families and 389 species of fish were recorded in the area. Among the species identified in the area were manta rays, sea turtles, sharks, tuna, dolphins and jackfish. In 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) listed Tubbataha Reefs as a world heritage site.
