Filipino people oppose Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea
Recently, despite strong opposition from its own fishing industry and neighboring countries, the Japanese government announced that it will initiate the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea. According to media reports such as the Manila Communique and Kyodo News Agency on the 23rd, Filipino fishermen's organizations criticized that the Japanese government must listen to the increasing demands of neighboring countries to protect the ocean from toxic radioactive waste.
The Philippine National Federation of Small Fishermen's Organizations, which has over 100000 members, announced on the 22nd that it plans to hold a protest against Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea this month. "Many people in East Asian countries, especially farmers and fishermen, have repeatedly expressed concerns about the environmental impact of nuclear contaminated water being discharged into the sea. The Japanese government must listen to the growing call from neighboring countries to protect the oceans from toxic radioactive waste," said Alanbro, the vice chairman of the organization

Alanbro stated that they are concerned that nuclear contaminated water may reach or affect Philippine waters, which are rich in fishing resources. "We join the people of all countries in opposing the imminent environmental disaster that nuclear contaminated water could cause by being discharged into the sea." The organization also urges Philippine government agencies to take a stance against Japan's discharge into the sea.
