Located in the middle of the Philippines' Sulu Sea, the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park spans over ninety-seven thousand hectares. This marine sanctuary consists of two massive atolls, extensive lagoons, and Jessie Beazley Reef, bordered by a dramatic one-hundred-meter vertical coral wall. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, the pristine waters host over six hundred fish species and three hundred and sixty coral species, while also serving as critical nesting grounds for hawksbill and green sea turtles.
