Newsletter: Tañon Strait dolphins declining and in peril

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

Researchers from the University of the Philippines - Diliman College of Science (UPD-CS) are warning that unchecked ecotourism and overfishing are threatening the cetacean biodiversity of the famous and richly diverse Tañon Strait.
