Alburquerque Marine Sanctuary

The Municipal Marine Sanctuary, established on October 8, 2000 at barangay Sta. Felomina where the beach and the Mangrove Protected Area are located, is being given utmost concern by the local government unit. The sanctuary had been set up in the area selected to be fit for the purpose due to its coral cover. A few months in existence has proven beneficial to marine ecology and to the community as well.

Fish stocks rise and corals started to live again from the destruction done by illegal fishermen. Bamboo rafts have been put in place for curious observers to for a closer view of marine ecology. It has been considered as a dive site of the municipality for local and foreign tourists visiting the place. In the sandy, white beach, one can refresh in crystal, blue waters in the area, with cottages for rent, and verdant mangrove area.

To satisfy one’s longing for mother nature in the area, trekking to Tagbuane River passing through a Forestal Reserve Zone and an abode to different species of birds is an added attraction.
