On September 21, 2023, the City College of Cagayan de Oro (CCCDO) joined forces with local
environmental advocates and residents in a full-scale coastal cleanup effort along Gusa Coastal
Road in Cagayan de Oro City. This event was a significant part of the institution's ongoing
environmental initiatives, aimed at promoting ecological awareness and encouraging a collective
commitment to environmental preservation.
The cleanup operation brought together over a hundred participants, including faculty members,
students, and local volunteers, who worked tirelessly to rid the coastal area of trash,
plastics, and other waste materials that pose serious threats to marine life and ecosystems. The
event highlighted the importance of maintaining clean and sustainable coastal environments as
part of the broader environmental stewardship agenda of the City College of Cagayan de Oro.
The cleanup initiative also served as an educational platform, where participants were given an
opportunity to learn more about the adverse effects of pollution on marine ecosystems and the
vital role that communities play in preserving the environment. Faculty members from various
disciplines were on hand to engage with students and community members, discussing best
practices in waste management, sustainability, and conservation efforts.
