Coastal Cleanup Advisory for October 6


Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup Day marks the day when people from all walks of life will head to beaches, waterways and underwater areas to help collect floating and submerged trash/debris that threatens ecosystems. They will also gather information on the debris collected into an ICC data card.

The following cleanup advisory and reminders must be considered to have a safe and meaningful ICC:

  • In the event of adverse weather conditions as forecasted by PAGASA a day before the ICC, the cleanup activity will be cancelled.  The following Saturday or the next weekend, if weather condition is favorable, the cleanup may be conducted in the same designated cleanup site. 
  • Check the tide table in your area and Lunar phases . It is best to schedule cleanups during low tide and on the First and Last Quarter Moon.


The tidal predictions for October 6, 2012 for Manila, Cavite and Batangas are as follows:

Manila Bay/ Cavite:
Time/ Ht.
0:45 h high tide ( 1.1 m )
9:15 h low tide ( 0.1 m )

Batangas Bay:
Time/ Ht.
0:45 h high tide ( 1.2 m )
9:20 h low tide ( 0.1 m )


  • For group volunteers, group leader should submit the list of your members by email at iccphilippines@gmail.com before ICC Day and a copy at the registration area on ICC Day
  • Individual and group volunteers can signup at our website
  • Know more about ICC at our website, i.e. how to organize a cleanup, pre and post ICC activities, how to fill-up the datacard, how to make estimations, , etc.
  • Please come in proper attire:  long pants, closed shoes (preferably rubber shoes and rain boots), hat, cap or bandana and rubber gloves. Rain boots is a must for all Baseco cleanup volunteers

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. Volunteers gave their precious time to do their share in caring for our fragile marine environment. The sight of our volunteers was, indeed, an important manifestation of the continuing Sea Change. More importantly, it was a beautiful sunny day and our volunteers made it more meaningful by collecting and recording the important information on what’s littering our oceans. No matter how busy we were, we responded for three main reasons: it is doing the right thing and leaving our world better than we found it; trash in the ocean is one of the most widespread pollution problems we face - yet, it's also entirely preventable; litter and trash isn't just ugly — it impacts local
