One Saturday morning, we brought my parents-in-law to the coast of Brgy. Simlong in Batangas City for a breath of fresh sea air. A young local fisherman was in the area and he gladly took us for a quick boat ride. I never thought that we would see such spectacular corals beneath the sea. The water was clear at that time and even at five meters away from the shore we could view the multi-colored and variedly shaped corals. There were corals that looked like mushrooms, a human brain, a broom, broad leaves, and stones. Small and medium sized fishes playfully swam and hid in the crevices and holes formed by the corals. I hope we would all take care not to destroy the coral reefs. They're part of the underwater ecosystem that eventually affects us human beings. When we leave coral reefs untouched, we are allowing fish and other sea creatures to flourish because the coral reefs serve as their habitat and protection. Eventually, that means food on our plates. Corals also provide a spectacular view for those fortunate enough to venture into the sea. Let's all preserve the spectacle under the sea.
