On September 20, 2025, JBLFMU Community Extension Services (CES), in partnership with the Local Government Unit of Nueva Valencia, Guimaras, successfully conducted the International Coastal Clean-up Drive at the Igang Bay Marine Sanctuary (IBMS) and the coastal area of JBLCF Puerto del Mar. A total of 270 volunteers participated, primarily from JBLFMU partner barangays including Poblacion, Igang, Sto. Domingo, Magamay, Pandaraonan, and Dolores.
The activity also engaged other stakeholders such as the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Nueva Valencia, and barangay officials, highlighting a strong culture of community collaboration. The initiative underscored the importance of collective action in environmental conservation, coastal protection, and sustainable management of marine ecosystems at IBMS.
