AdZU concludes
Summer with a Celebration of World Ocean’s Day

The Social Awareness and Community Service Involvement

June 8 2014 by visiting Sta. Cruz Island. SACSI organized activities which
included snorkeling, “SCUBASURERO” scuba diving, and coastal cleaning.

The activities were participated in by the Office of the
City Environment and Natural Resources (OCENR), Coast Guard Station (CGS)
Zamboanga, Regional Maritime Unit 9, Western Mindanao Command (WestMinCom) Unit

Mayor’s Office.

The Scubasurero activity was conducted by Mr Rommel A
Cuaresma, a representative of the Aguila Divers of AdZU and college instructor
of the university. Several licensed scuba divers participated in the underwater
cleanup. This was preceded by the snorkeling and coastal cleanup activity where
the participants collected garbage along the coast of the island, including
empty plastic bottle containers and cigarette filters, and segregated the
collected garbage afterwards.

The event concluded with a boodle fight and awarding of
certificates to the participating organizations.
