Conducting survey with family of indigenous peoples
The participants did confirm that cyanide fishing is still rampant in Burdeos and that it caused the destruction of the reefs. They attributed this to the gathering of groupers or lapu-lapu for the live reef fish food trade and collection of marine ornamental fishes for the aquarium trade. The women participants shared that the increase in algae in the coral reefs were also because of the removal of the algae-eating fishes.
