In the past years, tt has been beleaguered by
poaching and illegal fishing issues, thereby increasing enforcement costs threefold in the last year. That's
why Concepcion Durables Inc. Will be holding the Condura Race for Tubbataha
to raise funds and Awareness that will help aid the preservation of the reefs. Let's run and save the Tubbataha
before it runs out of time.
