A Message of Gratitude for a Meaningful Sea Change

Dear Volunteers, Sponsors, Coordinators and Friends Last September 19, 2009, Saturday, the 24th International Coastal Cleanup m ark ed another milestone in the continuing responsibility for our oceans. People from all walks of life responded to the call for a Sea Change – a chance to give back to the o ceans.

Although ICC is just a one day event, volunteers have made a meaningful difference in the health and vitality of our seas, rivers and lakes.

Given the public nature of the ICC Day, several interested groups may take advantage of these nationwide gatherings to sow terror in order to gain international media mileage in the process.  Certainly, the PCGA and the ICC-Philippines recognize that preparations, logistics and publicity requirements are already in place at this time. However, as the safety and security of
