This significant undertaking sheds light on the crucial role that mangroves play in our marine ecosystem.
Mangroves are known for their invaluable contribution to the production of oysters and other shellfish, as well as their ability to act as natural buffers against the destructive forces of natural calamities.
The faculty and staff of CAPSU Mambusao led by Dr. Adelfo Z. Virtudazo, satellite college director, have taken up the mantle of inspiring and recalibrating the mindset of the people, emphasizing the importance of active participation in tree planting initiatives.
They recognize that such efforts not only benefit the sea and marine life but also directly impact our daily consumption, serving as a vital source of sustenance.

By organizing and participating in the mangrove planting activity, CAPSU Mambusao has exemplified the values of environmental responsibility and collective action.
This activity serves as a powerful reminder to individuals and institutions alike, urging them to heed the call of nature and actively contribute to its preservation.
