The provincial government through the Provincial Government Environment and Natural Resources Office (PGENRO) will conduct mangrove planting and coastal cleanup on April 29 in Barangay Culasi, Ajuy town. Mitzi Peñaflorida, PGENRO senior environmental management specialist, said this is in line with the observance of Earth Day 2023 on April 22, with the theme, “Invest in our Planet”. Explained Peñaflorida, they scheduled the activities a week after the Earth Day because of the tidal calendar – April 22 is high tide and it is not feasible to plant mangroves.
