marine park [bird and fish sanctuary]

This is the shade where the collector of the entrance fee stayed if you want to see diffrrent kinds of fish. The entry fee is 10 pesos for children and 20 pesos for adults. They decided to have a fee if you want to look at the fish because they made a bamboo bridge so you can go far from seashore where you can find many fish.

It was founded on 1996 and it became popular tourist spot in Southern Leyte. It earned a lot of moneys just with that. Before the fee was only 5 pesos then as years passed by the fee is higher and they make an extension and they built a tower house where the marine guard can see if there were intruders. house extension for the bridge so in daylight you can hide.

The sanctuary became popular for sight seeing under water. Many beautiful corals like it was intentionally made. Sadly I cant show the beautiful corals because of no camera to use.
They manage to provide googles, life jacket, rescue boat and fins for snorkling for those who likes to swim and to dive under the sea. fins

They planted many mangroves for fishes and birds shelter.

So far they made the sanctuary improving and they made it as one of the earners in our municipality in macrohon. The sanctuary is open at 8 am to 5 pm, its the office hours here. Try to visit here, it has many trees if you want to to do sight seeing and there is no fee in entering the marine park. The fee is only available for entering the bridge, snorkling and "sakyaw", bisayan word when you want to ride on a boat and theres a man drive the boat then you can round the sea of the sanctuary that is covered.
