Volunteers regularly
seed the area of
Balayan Bay with giant clams cultured from the UP Marine
Science Institute. As the most successful site nationwide with a
survival rate of >80%, Dive & Trek is the the base for all
these activities in the Anilao area.

Briefing. The day started with a
briefing for the volunteers on how to handle the clams.
Responsibilities and work assignments were given for each
group of volunteers.
Of course, everyone
hoped that they would be the ones to bring down the clams.
Seeding. Volunteers were tasked to measure each seedling
after which they are placed in pre-selected areas in the reef.
Time off. This
is the best part so far in any volunteer activity. The time
before, in-between, and after work. A time of play and fun
with your old as well as new found friends.
