Understand
The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 caused immense damage to the Subic Bay area. This volcanic eruption, the second-largest of the 20th century, blanketed the area in several meters of ash. The situation worsened when a typhoon swept through, turning the ash into treacherous mud. The once vibrant bay, home to an array of sharks, dolphins, and turtles, now bears the scars of destruction. The visibility in the water has significantly declined, and the absence of sharks and dolphins is deeply felt. Much of the coral, hidden beneath the ash, perished. Despite efforts to recover, progress has been painstakingly slow.
