Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to be a part of UP Marine Biological Society's annual event, The International Coastal Clean Up 2012 in Puerto Galera. It was a 2-day event where we did a lot of activities like mangrove restoration, beach cleanup, skin diving, and many more! I learned so much from all the activities. Also, it was great and inspirational to see such a young group of people so passionate about the sea. The whole trip was amazing. I met a lot of great people and had a very enjoyable experience. So much fun that I really felt like it lasted for a whole week!

This experience taught me that I shouldn't just enjoy the sea but I should also protect it. I have so much respect for the sea now. It's so beautiful and infinite. I also realized that we are all a part of this beautiful world and it's our responsibility to protect it. We should always keep in mind that the Philippines is the center of biodiversity and that we should do whatever we can to save it.
Great photographs! :)
