I have the same concerns. Eventually, the shells will run out. Their barangay and their town already have started the ball rolling for some projects, so they say. That’s what I’m waiting to see… :)

Given the way below the minimum earning from shell-digging and the longterm habitat effect of the activity, the scale has to tip i guess on the long-range adverse consequences on marine life while exploring other alternative sources of income for poor people like crafting sandals and bags out of water lilies that other municipalities are now doing. My 2-cents! <blockquote><em>I couldn't agree more... :)</em></blockquote> I held my breath in that “depression” part!

I appreciate you examination of and concern for impoverished people. Destroying habitat is bad but the poverty of the people is the underlying cause. Great post. Thoughtful. Oh, and the two photographs of the sunset are great! <blockquote><em>It's like the dilemma on choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea...

It’s like the dilemma on choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea… Thanks Ben…
