The Mission Dahican Beach is known for its rich marine biodiversity, stunning coastline, and vital ecosystem that supports sea turtles, marine life, and the local community. However, ocean waste, single-use plastics, and improper disposal of garbage continue to threaten the health of our coastal environment. 

We are inviting volunteers to join our Coastal Clean-Up Drive and take part in protecting one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Philippines. Organized in partnership with Amihan sa Dahican and Balod sa Paglaom Inc., this activity aims to reduce marine pollution, promote environmental responsibility, and inspire collective action for cleaner oceans and sustainable tourism.
