What term refers to the filling of submerged land duly approved by the Philippine Reclamation Authority?

The term describes land created by filling submerged coastal areas and having that work approved by the Philippine Reclamation Authority. When PRA approves such activities, they are categorized as reclamation projects, representing the actual creation of new land from previously submerged areas. This distinguishes them from planning and surveying outputs like projection maps, survey plans, or survey returns, which are tools or documents used in the process rather than the land itself. Reclamation projects are central to expanding usable land area for development, ports, and urban growth, under PRA oversight.
