		Our recent marine expedition to the Kalayaan indicates an over-fished reef system with much lower biomass of fish and macro-invertebrates compared to that of marine protected areas in the Bohol Sea and the Sulu Sea.
		Another recent example is the sea cucumber exploitation in the Visayan Sea, which is fast leading to the exhaustion of the resource made worse by the inability of resource managers to control the rate of exploitation.
