Finding Nemo, saving Dory

Finding Dory, the sequel to the animated movie, Finding Nemo would surely make you fall in love once again with these cute and adorable marine fishes.

But did you know the two movies are not just about the adventure and struggles of Nemo, Dory and their friends?

It is also about the plight of marine fishes who are taken away from their natural habitats to be put in artificial environment called aquarium.

Best Alternatives is leading the DefendDory campaign to help save Nemos and Dorys by leaving these marine fishes alone - in the ocean - where they belong, anticipating that the movie release will again result in, not saving the marine fishes, but catching more of them from the ocean to be condemned in aquaria.

Best Alternatives Campaign Leader Gregg Yan said there are more ways than one to help save Nemo and Dory.

These adorable marine fishes have important purpose in the marine ecosystem.

Lately, the DENR's top biodiversity official said Palawan's coral reefs, particularly along Honda Bay, are dying because of coral bleaching.

The bleaching, says DENR Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) Chief Theresa Mundita S. Lim, is because of El Nino and the effects of climate change.

We can help stop coral bleaching, too, by defending our ocean against destructive human activities.

That is one sure way of saving Nemo, Dory and their cute liitle friends, too.
