Somewhere within the island of Boracay, there is another white sand beach called Puka, named for the numerous
puka shells you find in its shores.
Cimatu said the restoration of the island's biodiversity will continue starting with seeding Puka Beach with more
puka shells and investigating why the number of flying foxes and bats has decreased on the island.
The natural habitats of
Puka shells, nesting grounds of marine turtles, and roosting grounds of flying foxes or fruit bats have been damaged and/or destroyed; and
Cimatu said the measure particularly aims to promote the breeding of marine turtles, fruit bats or flying foxes,
puka shells and marine corals, the numbers of which, he said, have significantly declined due to high tourist activity in the area.

Trips there for work and play have inspired my affection for
puka shells, palm trees, and mai tais.

No, not
puka shells. She's looking for holes in Hawaii's workforce--fields in which jobs aren't being filled fast enough, because of the lack of skilled workers.
Also to be protected with the declaration of the BICH are unique beaches like the
Puka Shell Beach, several nesting marine turtles (hawksbill and green turtles) species, and several
puka shells like spider shell, lambis and dupella snail.
