Volunteers for the 2019 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) held in Brgy. Baseco, Tondo, Manila sort the trash they collected along Baseco Beach during the cleanup on September 21, 2019. Every item picked is recorded in the Ocean Trash Data Form and submitted to the area coordinator or sent to Ocean Conservancy for validation and analysis with the goal of coming up with solutions to marine pollution. More than 6,000 volunteers joined the cleanup in Baseco Beach which was spearheaded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the city government of Manila. Other DENR cleanup activities were held in various coasts and waterways in the Manila Bay region in support of the ICC and the Battle for Manila Bay.###
