It is considered to be one of the world’s great harbors, the Manila Bay, and it serves as the Port of Manila, Philippines. Having once been extremely overpolluted and lacking maintenance, the bay has since then improved as a result of strict implementation of anti-pollution measures and water quality management. During the rehabilitation of the bay, thousands of marine creatures returned to the harbour and the hazardous substances that once filled its waters were reduced.
