The annual coastal clean-up drive of JBLFMU CES is a key initiative to protect and restore coastal ecosystems by removing waste from the shores, ponds, and mangrove areas of the JBLFMU Ecological Park, the Igang Bay Marine Sanctuary (IBMS), and surrounding coastal communities.
In collaboration with the JBLFMU CES, the Municipal Agricultural Services Office of Nueva Valencia led the 2022 coastal clean-up at the JBLFMU Ecological Park and IBMS on September 14, 2022. Over 50 community residents from Barangays Poblacion and Igang actively participated, fostering local engagement in environmental stewardship. The Department Head of the Municipal Agricultural Services Office, also serving as the Protected Area Superintendent of IBMS, further strengthened community-led conservation efforts and partnerships for sustainable coastal management.
