Filling of submerged land duly approved by the Philippine Reclamation Authority

• A. Reclamation Projects
• B. Submerged Land Applications
• C. Coastal Development Works
• D. Marina Expansion Plans

Answer: (A)

Filling submerged land that has PRA approval is a reclamation activity. Reclamation projects involve creating or enlarging land by filling sea, river, or lake beds, and the Philippine Reclamation Authority is the agency that reviews and approves such projects to regulate land creation and coastal use. So this description fits a reclamation project best.

Submerged Land Applications refer to applying for permission to use submerged lands, not the actual act of filling. Coastal Development Works cover broader developments along the coast and aren’t specific to land reclamation. Marina Expansion Plans focus on expanding marina facilities and may involve dredging or other works but are a specialized type of development, not the general concept of reclaiming land.
