In adherence to conservation efforts, the confiscated species were promptly released back into their natural habitat at Siete Pecados Marine Protected Area on the same day. This action was conducted in close coordination with the Siete Pecados Marine Protected Area Management Board, facilitated by Mr. Jojo Mazo, and with the assistance of the Philippine Coast Guard-Coron.

The joint effort between PCSDS DMD Calamian and the Philippine Coast Guard underscores their commitment to enforcing wildlife protection laws and regulations, ensuring the preservation of Palawan’s rich biodiversity.
