Pescador Island
Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu
Pescador Island is an island located in the Tanon Strait, a few kilometres from the western coast of the island of Cebu in the Philippines. It is governed by the municipality of Moalboal, Cebu.
The island derives its name from the Philippines' Spanish colonial heritage and the abundance of fish living on the surrounding coral reef, and the many fishermen that fish them. The rich mar ...
ine life also attracts recreational divers from the many dive operations in nearby Panagsama.
The warm waters of the Philippines harbour a very rich marine life, with over 2,500 species of fish, and many of these are also found around Pescador island, contributing to the island being so popular with recreational divers. A rather more unusual part of the Pescador island biodiversity is the large school of sardines that have made the relative sanctuary of the reef its home.
As Pescador Island is a marine park, dive shops are required to pay a fee for each diver they bring to the island. Proceeds from entrance fees are managed by the Municipality of Moalboal and Moalboal Dive Center Association (MDCA) towards the finance of a number of conservation programs in the municipality. These programs include patrols and enforcement to abolish destructive fishing, village improvement programs, collection and disposal of plastic and other wastes entering the local waters, marine conservation education of village children and adults, and reef and mangrove rehabilitation.

One of the good parts about traveling is that I can meet a lot of people. Whether Im the tourist or Im the local; It connects us to one thing, travel.

She even took a day off just to take us to their tourist attractions and we tried their favorite desserts. It was one of the highlights of our travel.

In Moalboal, Cebu, the song of the sea emanates from rocky Pescador Island.
