Assessing damage caused coral Philippine ship sinking

USS Guardian is cut into pieces to be lifted from Tubataha. Philippine Authorities began assessing damage to the reef-protected due to sinking of a U.S. Navy ship. USS Guardian last Jaunari sank in the sea region Tubataha, which is a national park protected reefs in the southern Philippines. Early research vessel damage estimates around 4,000 m2 of coral and the United States could be required to pay compensation to about U.S. $ 2 million, as reported by the BBC Farhana Dawood. United States has issued an apology for the incident sinking ship is 68 meters long. Efforts to lift the USS Guardian of the region should be done by cutting the ship into pieces to be lifted gradually. The final piece weighing 68 tons successfully removed on Saturday, March 29 weekend. However, still take a few days to clean up the park from waste scrap from the cutting board and appointment. However certainly there is no oil spill of about 15,000 gallons of oil since USS Guardian has successfully removed safely. The divers said Tubataha-are included in the UNESCO world cultural heritage-has a rich diversity of marine creatures are almost comparable to the Great Barrier in Australia.
