As the new pawikan season draws near, let us look back at last season’s conservation efforts!

From October 2025 to April 2026, a total of 2,751 Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings were successfully released into the sea off the coast of Dipolog City. These hatchlings came from 47 nests found at various sites along Dipolog Boulevard and the coastal stretch of Dipolog Airport.

This achievement would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of the City Government of Dipolog, the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (City ENRO), DENR-CENRO A2, local fisherfolk, barangays, and concerned citizens.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our resident pawikan in-charge, Roldan A. Maylon; our partner from CENRO Manukan, Jim V. Montejar; and our dedicated volunteer patroller, Manuel O. Subrado, for their invaluable commitment to protecting these marine treasures.

We are deeply grateful for the community’s continued support and cooperation in safeguarding these gentle creatures and helping ensure that future generations can witness their return to our shores.

The City Environment and Natural Resources Office facilitated an educational tour for the Grade 1 to Grade 10 students of Dipolog Community School, Inc. at the Cogon Eco-Tourism Park on September 2, 2026.

The students learned about the park’s importance as one of the “lungs” of the city, its biodiversity, and the various flora and fauna found in the area.

Through hands-on experiences in nature, children gain not only knowledge but also a deeper appreciation and a sense of responsibility for the environment. 🌱
