On September 20, 2025, in connection with the International Coastal Clean-up Drive, JBLFMU, in partnership with the LGU of Nueva Valencia, conducted an underwater clean-up at Puyo Wharf, a site near the Igang Bay Marine Sanctuary (IBMS) identified as having high concentrations of marine debris. The activity aimed to remove trash and prevent further damage to coral reefs, protecting vital marine ecosystems.
The clean-up was successfully carried out with support from Nueva Valencia MENRO, Nueva Valencia Tourism, MDRRMC Nueva Valencia, PCGA, PCG, DOT Region VI, PDRRMC, Dive Gurus Boracay, IBMS Bantay Dagat, GENRO, and private volunteers. This initiative showcased JBLFMU’s commitment to collaborative marine conservation and sustainable ecosystem management at IBMS.
