'Marine environment protection a must for maritime shools'

摘要

As Roving Ambassador for INTERMEPA, the International Maritime Environment Protection Association, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Commodore Jimenez and his colleagues on the establishment and development of PHILMEPA, the Philippine Marine Environment Protection Association. It is a very important organisation which I am certain you will all hear a lot more about in future and not just in this speech.I am sorry that I have been forced to illustrate this presentation with the disgusting images that you will see before you. Unfortunately, they were photographed less than six months ago at Corregidor and in Manila Bay.
