The vandalism involved 13 names being carved into the coral reef, prompting the local government to temporarily close a snorkeling site on the island starting September 9, 2024. Damaging coral reefs is illegal under Republic Act 8550, which protects the marine ecosystem. The act of harming coral reefs is a serious offense as these ecosystems are vital to marine life. | | | |
