The Cagayan Ridge Corridor

The Cagayan Ridge Marine Biodiversity Conservation Corridor is located at the center of Sulu Sea, east-southeast of the province of Palawan from the Sultana Shoal in the north to the San Miguel islands in the south. This corridor occupies an area of at least four million hectares.

Like oases in the desert seas, the small islands, reef atolls and shoals of Cagayan Ridge form a vibrant chain of critical life support systems necessary to maintain the marine biodiversity and fisheries throughout the Sulu Sea and beyond.
