How might we help the locals in filtering out the microplastics, contaminants, and other microbes in the ocean to lessen plastic waste and protect the marine environment?

Alarmed and fearful because such contaminants (microplastics) should normally absent in bodies of water.

Laguna Lake 'contaminated with microplastics': study

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Analysis from the study also stated that microplastics found on the surface water were possibly from disposable face masks and traces of 'large plastic materials.'

# data[].attributes.body
“The presence of microplastics is really there. Wala namang microplastic kung walang macroplastic. Basically that is the idea. But then, when I conducted the study and found out it exists (microplastics), it is alarming in a way na these contaminants normally should not be in our waters.”

The people are looking for solutions to improve the water environment and reduce waste, which will benefit people's jobs and tourism.

# data[].attributes.body
The divers are thinking about ways for people/tourists that visits the reef to become aware and educated in using PPE equipment and caring for the marine biodiversity of our country.

# data[].attributes.body
Both divers thought about a solution that in which using a disposable mask, they use masks that is washable and reusable.

# data[].attributes.body
When Shala saw the blue PPE mask, she felt sad and guilty about it because she used the same mas that is easy to throw away.

# data[].attributes.body
Shala and Oliver are dive professionals in Anilao Batangas. They dive to inspect the coral reefs surrounded by the area. Once they have inspected, they collect the PPE rubbish from the oceans and segregate it.

# data[].attributes.body
“When we arrived at the diving site, it’s gotten worse. More stuff like PPE, 10 mins in the dive, surgical masks in between reefs.”

# data[].attributes.body
They may be thinking how they can encourage people to invest more in collection and recycling activities to make a greater impact together.

# data[].attributes.body
Francois Lesage, the CEO of "The Plastic Flamingo" feels hopeful that a world without oceanic waste is possible with collective effort from different members of the community.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2018, Francois Lesage launched a social enterprise called "The Plastic Flamingo" which aims to tackle marine plastic pollution in the Philippines. The Plaf collects and transforms plastic waste into a range of sustainable construction materials.

# data[].attributes.body
The person is thinking on how they are able to deploy artificial reefs that would benefit the reef system, act as fish nurseries, restore balance to the eroding shorelines.

# data[].attributes.body
WWF-PH, the Royal Norwegian Embassy, and the Grieg Group are working together to combat plastic pollution in the Philippines, which accounts for 36% of global plastic waste. The campaign emphasizes reduction, segregation, collection, and recycling.

They may be thinking how to strengthen the marine biodiversity, water quality, protecting coastal areas from erosion, and present enjoyable opportunities in a greener economy.

It saddens Tim Aukshun, owner of OceanDeep Diving Center, that he is now unable to catch lobsters, fish, or see corals. To which before, he would be surrounded everywhere. Dynamite fishing happened underneath the seas, and even during broad daylight, they would experience blasts underwater. Now that they are implementing “Sea of Life” with continuity, determination, and passion, they wish that we take action.

The person may be concerned about the harmful effects of sea trash on marine life, fishing gear, and livelihoods, and they may advocate for cleaner oceans and more sustainable practices to ensure the long-term health of their profession and the marine ecosystem.

He was deeply saddened by the environmental issues, particularly the sea trash that hindered his fish pen's ability to catch fish due to the overwhelming amount of trash in the water.

“ The current is not that strong today my fish pen has no garbage unlike when the waters are high garbage is everywhere. Manila bay is not an ideal place for fishing. ”

“During my first year here in 1974, I would dive around 250 times a year, that’s almost six times a week, sometimes even more. There were definitely a lot more marine life back then. You can snorkel off the beach and see lobsters. Every time, you would see a shark, or two, in waters 18 meters . During night dives, you could fill your bag with lobsters, lapu-lapu, tuna, and everything.”

Yet the same can’t be witnessed in the present day. It saddened us to not find any lobsters, no sharks, only lifeless corals and only a handful species of fish.

In 2011, JCI Manila launched its sustainability project “Sea of Life," along with DENR, the Philippine Coast Guard, NAVSOG, and LGUs. This project has helped rehabilitate marine life around the Philippines.

“The Philippines is one of the world’s worst offenders of marine plastic pollution, with 0.28 – 0.75 million tons per year of plastic entering the oceans from coastal areas in Manila Bay.”

# data[].attributes.body
The person is thinking about how she can motivate people to change their waste management habits and practice conscious consumerism.

# data[].attributes.body
She felt sad that people know how important nature is for our survival, yet we decide to abuse it. However, she also felt optimistic because her campaign started to reach a wider audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Jammy, the person interviewed, created a personal campaign called “Plastic Free Bohol,” which aims to spread awareness regarding plastic pollution through regular beach clean-ups and awareness talks.

# data[].attributes.body
“Unfortunately, the Philippines is the third biggest contributor of ocean pollution. One reason is our sachet economy. Everything is packed in small plastic packaging, which is tossed out once used.”
