Manila Bulletin and Sony present: Hope for the Oceans

The UP Marine Science Institute helps cultivate a hatchery and nursery of over 30,000 giant clams in Bolinao, Pangasinan.
 
These clams are transported around the country to help rehabilitate reefs that have been destroyed due to man-made or natural disasters.
 
The largest of the giant clam species is the Tridacna gigas. Seeding several of these underwater giants can bring back reef life by providing habitats and food for fish and coral life.
 
Giant clams are the miracle workers of the coral reefs. And they are endangered.
