OBJECTIVES:

This activity aims to:

1. Remove trash, plastics, and other pollutants from the entrance up to exit of
Mangrovetum.

2. Encourage responsible waste disposal and change behaviors that lead to

pollution.

3. Contribute to the overall health and sustainability of marine and coastal

area such as the Mangrovetum, while also fostering a culture of
environmental responsibility and action.

4. Provide the participants with sense of fulfilment and environmental

stewardship while spreading awareness on how to contribute to cleaner
oceans and protect marine ecosystems.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. Trash Removal:
o Successfully collected over approximately 100 kg of waste, including
plastics, cans, and other non-biodegradable materials.
o Notable reduction in visible litter from the entrance to the exit of the
Mangrovetum.
2. Awareness and Behavior Change:

o Enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the Mangrovetum, encouraging more

eco-tourism.
o Improved habitat conditions for local wildlife by removing harmful
pollutants.
4. Participant Engagement:
o The BSCE IV students participated actively, reporting a heightened
sense of environmental responsibility.
o Participants expressed a commitment to continuing advocacy and
clean-up efforts in their communities.

Conclusion:

The Coastal Clean-Up and Walking Field Trip at the Mangrovetum in Masbate
City was a resounding success, fulfilling its objectives of reducing pollution,
enhancing ecosystem health, and promoting environmental stewardship among the
BSCE IV-A students. The activity not only resulted in the significant removal of waste
from the area but also fostered a deeper understanding and commitment to
environmental responsibility among participants and the local community.

Through hands-on involvement and active engagement, the students

experienced the direct impact of their efforts on the environment, reinforcing the
principles learned in their Environmental Science subject. The positive outcomes of
this clean-up initiative highlight the importance of practical, community-based actions
in addressing environmental challenges.

Moving forward, regular clean-up activities, continuous educational

campaigns, and collaborations with local authorities will be essential in sustaining the
benefits achieved and furthering the cause of environmental conservation. The
success of this activity serves as an inspiring example of how collective action can

REACTION PAPER

(WALKING FIELD TRIP)

Date: June 10, 2024.

It’s our duty as a human to help and protect our environment, if we did
not preserve it, it would hard for us to survive. Nature has been our source of
our basic needs throughout our existence; foods, shelter, and many more
things. As someone who grow up experiencing devastating things cause by
nature, such as typhoon, earthquake, floods and other natural phenomenon, I
can say it’s a wake-up call for us, that it’s time for us to stop doing things that
harming our nature and that now is the time to make a step towards
constructing again our nature.

That’s why I was immensely happy, when I first heard that in this subject
we are going to conduct a field trip, aiming to help and protect our nature. I
can’t contain the happiness I was feeling at that moment.

During the trip, I can sense the excitement that everyone is feeling at
that moment. Everyone is doing their assigned part to clean, which we started
cleaning along the road of the Mangrovetum and afterwards the insides, where
we can feel the buzzling green of tress dancing on the air. We ensured that
picked up each trash that we’ve seen from entrance to exit of the
Mangrovetum, and then we put it in the trash bag. After collecting all the

trashes, we put the trash bags, in its designated area, were in the morning the
garbage collector is going to collect it.

Overall, it was a fun and exciting activity.
