According to its proponents, reclamation expands territories for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes, thus, it creates economic opportunities through massive capital investment, needed jobs and livelihood opportunities. However, the Manila Bay reclamation will adversely affect the environment through mangrove cutting, seabed dredging and dumping of soil on the coast, and these costs, for the fisherfolks, coastal residents and experts, outweigh benefits.

C-Help provides legal assistance to fisherfolks and concerned residents of Manila Bay against reclamation and seabed quarry.
