    Excerpt
    The Amihan Boys are considered the “guardians of Dahican.” The group of 25 boys and young men, all residents of the village of Dahican, started as mere skim boarding enthusiasts nine years ago. Since then, they have become a common sight in the Dahican shores—skim boarding; surfing; picking up debris like driftwood, coconut husks and plastic wastes; and watching over the turtles’ nests. The group has also rescued 100 turtles that were either wounded or caught in fishing nets. The Amihan Boys, who have set up camp (more like a beach front cottage made of salvaged driftwood) on the shores of Dahican, monitor the arrival of turtles at night.
