 SUGGESTIONS AND
COMMENTS:
The local government should enforce environmental regulations to reduce pollution and
protect wildlife. Coral restoration is crucial for improving Boracay's beaches, fishing, and
tourism. Maintaining clean beaches and proper waste disposal is essential for attracting
visitors.

I believe that it should be maintained the beach clean also we need to dispose rubish
correctly, others do throw their trash, but they dispose of it at the wrong waste bins, like
putting biodegradable waste inside non-biodegradable baskets. We need to make sure to
observe this simple rule to keep the beaches of Boracay clean and free of waste.

raising the standard of Boracay’s beaches, fishing, and tourism is coral restoration. In
many regions, natural repair is all but nonexistent. Even in the best case scenarios, natural
regeneration is far too slow to keep up with the rate of rising sea levels, global warming,
pests that eat coral, diseases that affect coral, and the growing number of land-based
pollution sources.
