Tubbataha Reef Palawan Philippines, nominated as 7 wonders of the world!

The name 'Tubbataha' is the Samal word for "long reef exposed at low tide". Samals are seafaring people of the Sulu Sea and are one of the few people who have accessed the Park in early1980's.

Cagayanen people who are more geographically associated with Tubbataha Reefs referred the Park as 'gusong'. Declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on December 1993, it is under protective management by the Philippines Department of National Defense (DND). It is under technical supervision by the Palawan Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) & the Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR). It is administered as part of Cagayancillo town on Palawan.

Aside from being a marine sanctuary, Tubbataha is also renowned for being a bird sanctuary. A lighthouse islet, at the southern tip of the South Atoll, supports a large number of seabirds which nest there. Around the Tubbataha, there are tens of thousands of masked red-foot boobies, terns, and frigate birds resting during their annual migrations. To minimize any external intrusions, the Philippine Coast Guard maintains a small monitoring station on one of the many permanent sand bars.

CLUB NOAH ISABELLE, Palawan Philippines

Club Noah has a vision of nature and man living together in harmony. Isabelle, the first Club Noah-owned resort, is designed to be a model-case for eco-tourism. With administrative authority over one mile radius of the island, Club Noah has slowly brought the reefs of Isabelle back to life. The presence of the rare Palawan grey heron, the Palawan hornbill and the kingfisher attest to the abundance of fish in the water.

Just as Noah's ark became the last refuge for all living things in biblical times, it is Club Noah's vision that future generations will still bear witness to the marvels of nature and commune as one with them wherever there is a Club Noah resort.
Club Noah- Isabelle takes its name from an old Spanish fort that sits near the harbor of Taytay town in Northeastern Palawan. Puerto de Sta Isabel, named in honor of Spain's Queen Isabela II, was built to protect the local townspeople from 18th century pirates.
