The coastal clean-up proved to be very fruitful as the team was able to collect a total of 551 kgs of waste, of which 11 kgs were glass, 9 kgs were styro, 6.5 kgs were rubber, 206.5 kgs were plastic, and 308 kgs were other waste materials. All in all, 36 sacks of garbage were collected - containing waste that would have otherwise continued to pollute the critical habitat and our oceans.

“Kaya ako sumama dito sa coastal clean-up kasi I wanted to do something productive and helpful sa environment natin, rather than just nasa bahay lang ako. Narealize ko dito, sobrang daming kalat, kahit saan ka magpunta dito, sobrang dami mo nang madadampot. Parang hindi siya matatapos sa isang araw o kahit isang buwan, kailangan talagang magtulung-tulong lahat ng tao (The reason why I joined this coastal clean-up was because I wanted to do something productive and helpful for the environment, rather than just staying at home. Today, I realized that there’s just so much trash, anywhere you go here, there’s a lot of trash that you can pick and clean up. It really won’t be fully cleaned even if you stay here all day or even all month, that’s why we really need to work together),” says Joseph Ryan Victoria, a WWF-Philippines regular donor since 2016.
