Crown-of-thorns starfish are highly toxic to humans if they are stepped on, and can only be removed after being injected with a special toxin.

Tourism may be on hold in El Nido due to the enhanced community quarantine in Metro Manila, but the spirit of environmental conservation is alive and well.

Local diver and tourism business owner Ryan Christopher Cañizares said in an interview that the volunteers were called in early August to help the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office . They agreed to provide their services and resources, and even organized a fundraiser so they could buy removal kits.

Please consider that although these crown-of - thorns proved toxic to humans when stepped on, are part of biodiversity. Please let them be. They are part of the balance. Do not sacrifice them for tourism industry's sake
