Marine Conservation and Protection Project Thru Functional Community-Based Solid Waste Management Initiatives
This is a project funded by the Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines implemented from January to December 2020 with the following objectives:
1. Enhance the biophysical condition of Marine Protected Areas for better ecosystems services.
2. Improve waste segregation at source in the selected semi-urban areas.
3. Improve the quality of life of the people thru the establishment of a community-based recycling project that will provide additional income to participating families.
