The Island That Vanishes: Sanipaan Shoal

Vanishing Island
Vanishing Island of Samal
Sanipaan Shoal, Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte

This is probably one of my most favorite places in Davao. I fell in love with this island when I first went here last 2008 for a laboratory field work in Botany. Indeed, the island (technically, it's a shoal) vanishes when the tide is high.

Today, a number of organizations, mostly from schools and NGOs have successfully conducted mangrove planting activities within the shoal. That activity will surely restore the once rich marine biodiversity.

Gosh, I really miss going to the beach.
