Fifteen volunteer licensed divers from different government and non-government organizations participated in Capiz’s first-ever underwater clean-up drive on May 27 in Barangay Balogo, Pilar town. The activity dubbed “Sisid Basurero: An Underwater Clean-up Drive” was in line with the Month of the Ocean observance to raise public awareness on the importance of coastal ecosystems. Based on the Capiz Provincial Environment and Natural Resources (CaPENRO) social media post, the divers gathered various wastes like tin cans, plastic bags, nets and clothes.
