That is some laudable effort from Philippine conservationists! This re-seeding program should be replicated in other parts of the world where the giant clams are found.

That’s right. It can be emulated because the program has already proven to work.

I hope we can also have such seeding efforts in Indonesia, too. I commend the Philippines for a very timely measure.

I’m sure marine biologists over there have similar efforts. Are there tridacna gigas in Indonesia, too? I bet there are because the Philippines and Indonesia practically have the same seas.
The giant clams were first seeded in a marine laboratory before setting them out in their natural habitat.

Clams are so beautiful. The best of this earth truly is underwater. It’s sad, for people like me!
