Green Fins - Beach, Community and Reef Cleanup on White Beach, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
The Reef-World Foundation, supported by many partners and friends, held a Clean Up Event last Wednesday on the 2nd February 2011 on White Beach in Puerto Galera, a popular diving destination in the Philippines.
The event was managed by Reef-World, sponsored by Marco Vincent Dive Resort and supported by Guli Divers – two new Green Fins Dive Centres. Clean Up events are incredibly effective at firstly removing damaging litter from the natural environment, but also to raise awareness of the negative impact litter can have on marine life. The Reef-World staff held a training session with the participating dive centre staff the night before the event to let people know how best to collect rubbish without damaging the environment and how plastic can harm marine life, such as plastic bags being ingested by marine turtles and cetaceans which will ultimately kill them.
The event was also hugely supported by the Local Government Unit with the Barangay (Village) Captain and the SIBROA, San Isidro Beach Resort Owners Association helping to promote the event and encourage the participation of the local community and make sure the rubbish was collected and removed responsibly. This included the various Associations including the Banka (Boat) crews, The Vendors Association and the local Beach Masseuse Association as well as representatives from The Puerto Galera Municipal Employees Cooperative known as PGMECO, came along and got their hands dirty.
Over 80 people gathered on the beach during the cool morning hours and worked hard to remove rubbish from along the beach and in the surrounding village. A big effort was made to explain how this will have a positive impact on the local environment, and the implications this will have on the livelihoods of the local people. A group of 9 divers from Marco Vincent Divers and Guli Divers then cleaned up a local reef which catches a lot of rubbish being washed out of a river close by.
The stakes were raised as 1,000 pesos was awarded to the participant who managed to guess what the total weight of rubbish collected from land over the course of the day was. The final weight was 340.25 kg (including the underwater cleanup) and the prize money was awarded to Ms. Venancia Viena from the PGMECO. At the end of the day all the rubbish was moved to the back of the beach and was then collected by the rubbish truck from SIBROA to be disposed of responsibly.
Reef-World would like to especially thank, Captain Genaro S. (Ohrie) Bunquin from Barangay Isidro, Marlon G. Albo from Marco Vincent Diver Resort, Lisa from Guli Divers, Joel from the SIBROA and Erwin from Leynlies Beach Resort and all the Associations and the general public for all their help and support.

Good for the skin and extremely beautiful to tone muscles around the chin and cheeks; a clean-up not only helps remove dead skin cells, oil & dirt but also makes you feel better and look great too. Treat yourself to a supreme relaxation with revitalizing clean up session for a beautiful glowing skin.
Today’s Pearl district graffiti cleanup was a huge success with three community volunteers pitching in. Tom Tullai, John Banton and George Ranum of Vancouver, WA heard about Rogue’s graffiti removal efforts in the Oregonian’s Arts and Entertainment section and decided to get in on the action. Tom, John and George were thanked with Rogue gift bags and were ushered into the pub after the cleanup for a few pints. Outside Deschutes Brewery, the Rogue team caught the attention of diners and wait staff alike who gawked at the scene through restaurant windows. General Manager Mike Rowan even came outside to check out the action! His attempt at coercing us into cleaning the Deschutes bathroom was unsuccessful, but he did thank us for our community efforts.

They go out and chain or rope a tree trunk and then pull it back to shore to be cut up and hauled away. That's the easy ones. The harder ones, require cutting up in situ and then dragging to shore or wenching on shore using the backhoe or end loader.
This was last August's (2007) flood cleanup. This summer's flood debris is easily 3 times are much volume, with many more full-sized trees that collapsed into the river after it over ran the banks, saturating ground and roots at levels not seen in over 100 years.
