II. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE
Our coastal areas are the bridge between our world and the ocean. Summer weather, beautiful
spot and being a conducive area for livelihood attract thousands of peoples to stay into our coast lines which
undeniably causes pollution within its surroundings through garbage dumping.
Every year thousands of tons of garbage winds up in the oceans, with 60% of that being composed
of plastic materials. Plastics especially last a very long time in the ocean, and are in such abundance that
there are 46,000 individual species of plastic litter for every square mile of ocean. Plastics are very
hazardous to marine life, killing more than a million birds and over 100,000 seals, turtles, whales and an
immense number of fish in our ocean. Coastal Cleanup Day encourages us to get out to our beaches or
coastal areas and help to limit this problem by cleaning up the garbage that has washed up on shore and
that left by people every day.
It is a must that all of us take part to protect and conserve our oceans for the next generations. In
view thereof, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Baco, through the supervision of the Municipal Disaster
Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) will join the 33rd International Coastal Cleanup Day and
conduct relevant activities in coastal areas within this municipality to raise awareness on the marine debris
problem.
Coastal areas are fragile environments. We must be attentive in how we treat these stretches of
nature.
