17. Pangalisan
Pangalisan has
often some of the current leftovers from Muka Kampung.Visibility,
however, is more
stable. The shallow reef flat and the steep wall offer excellent
macro life, but also bigger things can be expected. Dugongs or
seacows, the only vegetarian sea mammal, and dangerously close
to extinction, are sometimes spotted here. It is not clear where
these individuals come from. It is a fact that Arakan, at the
southern part of the park, is home for a more or less, a steady
group of 75 dugongs. They do swim long stretches and it is possible
that the ones we sometimes see, come from there.
