Greenpeace has apologised to the Philippines and "mother nature" for the damage caused by its flagship Rainbow Warrior II to a coral reef.
The 55-metre schooner ran aground at Tubbataha Reef Marine Park on Monday.
Greenpeace was fined nearly $US7,000 ($A9,481) earlier this week but blames what it describes as inaccurate navigational charts provided by the Philippine Government.
