Julius is a principal of a school on Bilangbilangan Island, Philippines and is concerned about illegal fishing activity around the island, specifically dynamite fishing. The Danajon Double Barrier Reef also known as “The Danajon Bank,” is just a 15-minute distance by motorized boat from the island and illegal fishing takes place in the area, which is rich with biodiversity. With each catch, the fishermen must increase their dynamite load to continue to extract the same amount of fish. When warned, they stop for a while, but soon resume their activities. To stop the practice Julius is thinking of teaching the locals about sustainable development when an interesting plot twist occurs.
