Group: Redirect dolomite sand dumping fund towards virus response

A group of scientists, engineers and researchers renewed their call to stop the dumping of crushed dolomite rocks along the shoreline of Manila Bay, and instead realign the funds allocated for the project to the government’s pandemic response.

In a statement, the Agham – Advocates of Science and Technology for the People – said the beach nourishment project should be stopped while the government studied its environmental implications on the bay and its ecosystem.
