Hinatuan Mining Corporation–Tagana-an Nickel Project (HMC–TNP) actively participated in the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) 2025, supporting this year’s theme, “Clean Seas Against the Climate Crisis.”
The ICC, the world’s largest volunteer effort to protect the ocean, unites millions of participants across more than 150 countries in a shared goal—to keep beaches, waterways, and marine ecosystems free from waste.
This year, HMC–TNP joined thousands of other volunteers nationwide, showing that collective action can make a tangible impact on ocean health and climate resilience.
The event began with an Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) session held at the South Beaching Area in Hinatuan Island. The program opened by highlighting the importance of the ICC initiative and the vital role of coastal cleanup efforts in protecting marine ecosystems.
This was followed by an engaging presentation on proper waste segregation, promoting environmentally responsible waste management practices among participants.
HMC–TNP personnel and volunteers then took part in a hands-on coastal cleanup activity, successfully collecting 189.75 kilograms of residual waste and 77 kilograms of recyclable waste along the shoreline.
The collaborative effort removed harmful debris from marine habitats and helped reduce ocean pollution.
HMC–TNP expressed its gratitude to all departments and dedicated volunteers who contributed to the success of the event.
“Together, let’s turn the tide against marine pollution and protect the life that depends on it,” the company said in a statement.
