On a beach in the Philippines, there is an unbelievable scene, thousands of sardines bouncing and floating to the shore, and the fishermen on the shore are happy, after all, they have never encountered such a large number of sardines, which can be said to be a spectacle.
Swarms of sardines bounce towards the beach, like a silver curtain of rain glistening in the sun.
This coast is located in the province of Sarangani in the Philippines, and as you can see from the picture, these sardines stretch all the screen, and it is estimated that 2 to 4 kilometers from the coastline are such sardines.
While the villagers reveled in the sudden harvest of sardines, some began to get worried.
They wondered whether such anomalous phenomena were a sign of changes in the marine ecosystem, or whether there were potential geological risks, such as earthquakes or tsunamis.
Experts from local authorities investigated and responded, claiming that the sardines were caused by upwelling, not necessarily by underwater seismic activity.
Another concern is that it is not known whether these sardines can be eaten and whether they contain toxic substances, in this regard, experts say that this sardine is also edible like ordinary sardines, but it is necessary to pay attention to the aging and preservation methods.
The abundance of sardines is essential to maintaining the balance and biodiversity of the oceans, and there are concerns that overfishing for sardines will cause irreversible damage to the ocean's ecology, which will outweigh the losses for humans.
All kinds of organisms in the ocean are interdependent, forming an intricate ecological network, and the lack of any link will produce a butterfly effect, causing some good or bad effects, and only through scientific management and sustainable fishing practices can we maintain the ecological balance of the ocean and ensure the sustainable use of human beings.
