Aboitiz Land’s dedication to marine life conservation is deeply rooted in the understanding of the crucial interplay between coastal ecosystems and the well-being of communities. Through initiatives like the Coastal Cleanup 2.0 and Pawikan Nature Reserve, it offers a holistic approach to environmental sustainability and the safeguarding of marine life for current and future generations.

Aboitiz Land’s environmental conservation efforts at Seafront Residences, for instance, were recognized with the prestigious Silver Award in the Environmental Category at the FIABCI Philippines Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards 2022.

The company, in collaboration with the Aboitiz Foundation Inc. and Communities Organized for Resource Allocation Nonprofit, led the Coastal Cleanup 2.0 initiative at Seafront Residences on 7 October 2023, underscoring its unwavering commitment to marine life conservation.

The initiative aimed to not only clean the coastline but also to gather valuable information for future efforts. This data will contribute to a more targeted and sustainable approach in the conservation of marine life.

Capacity Development programs and Information, Education and Communication activities were also implemented to promote environmental responsibility among participants.

Sustaining pawikan protection

Nestled at the core of Seafront Residences is the Pawikan Nature Reserve, designated as a critical nesting site for endangered pawikans. Upholding the cleanliness of these coastal regions is integral to ensuring the preservation of the pawikan‘s natural habitat.

Culminating in February 2023, Seafront Residences’ dedicated five-year Pawikan Conservation Project implemented educational programs and hands-on involvement in releasing and safeguarding pawikan hatchlings.

Ongoing initiatives, including regular coastal cleanups, are set to continue in the coming years, ensuring the sustained protection of both the pawikan and their coastal habitats.

The steadfast dedication of Aboitiz Land at Seafront Residences not only enhances coastal biodiversity but also sets an inspiring example for coastal communities across the Philippines.
