CGS GUIMARAS PERSONNEL JOINED INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEAN-UP DRIVE
LOOK: The Coast Guard Station (CGS) Guimaras, together with its Sub-Stations, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA), various government agencies, local officials, partner organizations, and community members, actively participated in the International Coastal Clean-Up (ICC) Drive on 19 September 2026 within their respective Areas of Responsibility (AOR).
The activity aimed to promote and sustain the cleanliness of coastal areas and waterways, protect the marine environment, and strengthen environmental awareness and community participation in preserving and protecting our valuable coastal resources.
Through the collective efforts of all participating individuals and organizations, a total of 40 sacks of non-biodegradable waste, plastic trash, and marine debris were collected along the coastline.
This initiative contributes in reducing marine litter, preventing pollution, and mitigating environmental risks that may contribute to flooding and other hazards. More importantly, activities such as this foster a sense of shared responsibility in protecting our seas and coastal communities, helping ensure a cleaner, safer, and healthier marine environment for present and future generations.
