The vulnerable Olive Ridley sea turtles located in San Pascual, Batangas, recorded a stark increase in hatchlings the past two years, due to the annual Chevron Coastal Cleanups. The number of hatchlings grew from 23 in 2022 to 768 in 2024. During this year's event, 206 volunteers showed up along the 5-kilometer shoreline of Chevron Batangas terminal to collect 239 sacks of trash, equivalent to 12 tons, in time for sea turtles' nesting season.
