    Verde Island Passage is a strait between the islands of Luzon and Mindoro in the Philippines that connects the South China Sea to Tayabas Bay and Sibuyan Sea. It has exceptionally high marine biodiversity and is considered the center of marine biodiversity in the world. A 2011 expedition by the California Academy of Sciences found even more species in the area, with the passage home to a bounty of marine life, including over 4,000 fish species. It remains one of the most biodiverse marine environments globally.
