The First Step Coral, a project by a team of Filipinos which won at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, aims to rehabilitate coral reef resources and help increase reef fish populations that would impact positively on the livelihood of fishing communities dependent on this vital resource.

The Philippines, which prides its long coastlines and its well-endowed seaside with natural resources, is facing several environmental problems including coral reef degradation. Just hopefully with this project, the Filipinos could help in finally protecting the coral reefs not only in this over 7,100-island republic dubbed as "the pearl of the orient seas" but also in other countries as well. May we continue to help protect our environment before it is too late.
