The College of Maritime Education (CME) of Misamis University spearheaded another coastal clean-up activity in Barangay Barra, Tudela, Misamis Occidental, as part of the Coastal Resources Regeneration and Alternative Livelihood (CORRAL) Program last April 18, 2026.

The activity was strengthened by the active participation of the MU CME Local Student Council led by Governor Ejay Napat, and student organizations : Marine Engineering Technological Association (META) and Nautical Odessey Allegiance (NOA) together with the strong support of the Barangay Council of Barra and community members. The collective efforts between community and the college demonstrated the importance of collaboration and volunteerism in protecting coastal ecosystems and promoting sustainable communities.

The initiative contributes to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), & SDG 15 (Life on Land).

Beyond removing waste from the coastal environment, the activity provided maritime students with an opportunity to practice environmental stewardship, community engagement, and civic responsibility. It also highlighted the role of university extension programs in translating environmental awareness into meaningful community action.
