Pescador Island<br />
This uninhabited island has an automated<br />
lighthouse with access steps on the north and<br />
east sides, while the area around the island is a<br />
marine reserve, protected by the local Moalboal<br />
Municipality.<br />
However it is a marine reserve in name only, as<br />
fishermen extensively spear fish across the entire<br />
reef. Local fishermen are destroying the coral<br />
by using rocks as anchors and entangling the<br />
delicate growth with their nylon fishing lines.<br />
Experienced divers have noticed the lack of<br />
large fish around Pescador compared with other<br />
similar areas, such as the nearby Apo Island.<br />
Dive operators claim the economic benefit to<br />
Moalboal derived from dive tourism is far greater<br />
than the traditional fishermen’s contribution<br />
