PLACER, Surigao del Norte – Fishing boats used in “liba-liba” operations dock at a small pier in Placer town, Surigao del Norte. Liba-liba is a fishing method that destroys coral reefs. Authorities in Surigao del Norte have failed to crack down on this illegal form of fishing that threatens the sustainability of marine resources in the province. MindaNews photo by Roel N. Catoto
