Coastal and Marine Ecosystems
GENERAL SANTOS CITY - The coastal areas of General Santos City are connected to marine ecosystems that support various forms of aquatic life. These ecosystems can provide habitats for fish, shellfish, and other marine organisms that are important to both biodiversity and local fisheries.
