Manila Bay Tank

For me this is the most interesting tank in the Manila Ocean Park. Can’t we do something about this?

The information beside the tank reads:

Manila Bay Tank

The tank contains unfiltered water pumped in directly from Manila Bay. Unlike the filtered seawater seen in the rest of the oceanarium tanks, here you can observe how the bay water looks like in its untreated state. It has been estimated that everyday five million gallons of untreated sewage, one to two million kilos of fecal and solid wastes and 18 million kilos of toxic and hazardous wastes find their way into Manila Bay. However, despite its being extremely polluted, this water is still capable of supporting a variety of aquatic life such as mussels, barnacles, anemones and marine worms.

Yuck!
