That single plastic bottle doesn’t seem like much, until it’s joined by billions of others. The crisis in our oceans isn’t just a "global problem"; it’s a collection of individual choices.

Discipline means choosing the reusable over the convenient. It means making sure your waste ends up in a bin, not a current. If we have the discipline to change our habits, the tide will eventually turn.

𝗦𝗲𝗮-𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁, 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲. The SAYANS initiative in bringing this advocacy into action.

A three-day coral assessment was successfully conducted through the collaborative efforts of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO), Naval Special Operations Group (NAVSOG), Philippine Coast Guard, the City Government of Legazpi, and the Integrated Coastal Resource Management (ICRM) Unit. The activity focused on evaluating coral reef health, documenting marine biodiversity, and identifying areas for conservation and rehabilitation. This joint initiative highlights strong inter-agency coordination in protecting and sustaining coastal and marine ecosystems.

Kasalukuyang ginaganap sa Lungsod ng Legazpi ang walong araw na training ng 32 youth leaders mula sa Albay at Sorsogon sa ilalim ng Resilience, Innovation, and Sustainability for Empowered Youth (RISE) Project. Layunin ng programang ito na ihanda ang mga kabataan bilang aktibong katuwang sa pagsusulong ng Climate Action at Sustainable Development sa kani-kanilang komunidad.

Ang inisyatibong ito ay pinangungunahan sa pakikipagtulungan ng International Organization for Migration (IOM), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Bicol, at YMCA for Albay Inc. Ayon sa mga organizers, sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng sapat na kaalaman at kasanayan, hinuhubog ang kabataan bilang susunod na lider sa pangangalaga ng ating kalikasan.

Naging posible ang pagsasagawa ng aktibidad dahil sa suporta ng iba’t ibang ahensya at katuwang gaya ng LGU Legazpi, Philippine Coast Guard, PNP Legazpi, Philippine Navy, ICRMU, OCENR, Rarum Dive, at mga boluntaryo.

Patuloy ang pasasalamat ng LGU Legazpi sa mga partner na nagbibigay daan upang mapalakas ang partisipasyon ng kabataan tungo sa mas handa, mas luntian, at mas ligtas na kinabukasan para sa lahat.
