ACTIVITY COMPLETION REPORT

31st INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP DAY and MANGROVE PLANTING ACTIVITY

“Bayan Ko, Linis Ko: Bayanihan Para sa Malinis na Karagatan”

I. Rationale:

The ever-increasing ocean trash – plastic waste in particular – has produced nothing less
than a global crisis for ocean waters, marine wildlife and habitat, human health and safety,
wasted resources and lost revenues for many nations. Fortunately, this is one environmental
issue that can be addressed by tackling trash at the source before it has a chance to reach the
water and by changing the behaviours that allow trash into the water in the first place. Another
small initiative that aims to conserve the marine environment is through mangrove planting.
Mangroves are vital to the marine ecosystem; among its many benefits are that it forms the
nursery for the young of some marine creatures, hold the soil together, as well as act as a buffer
against strong waves.

II. Objective :
 To promote and inculcate the ecological awareness, action and commitment among
the parents, teachers, students as well as other non-student sector in the community
through their involvement on the 31st International Coastal Clean Up Drive and
Mangrove Planting Activity.
