The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) thru its Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) spearheads the annual celebration of the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC) Day in the Philippines by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 470 s. 2003.
This annual event is held every third Saturday of September to educate people and create solutions to the problems of solid waste and litter in our coastal areas.
This year’s ICC will be celebrated on 19 September 2020 following the theme, “Safe Oceans Start at Home.”
Despite operational limitations to adapt to government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping in mind our health and safety as top priority, we can still do something to protect and conserve our oceans from the safety of our homes.
Please join this advocacy by liking and sharing ICC 2020’s upcoming posts.
