KLAVENESS joins a program for the protection of coastal areas

In partnership with the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco, Batangas, Klaveness Maritime Agency, Inc. participated in the VIDES Foundation’s ManGrows ManGroves program.

Last May 18, 2024 (Saturday), Team Klaveness (composed of office personnel, SWAK and family members and a few seafarers) joined the other program participants at the Barangay Poctol, San Juan, Batangas, in the area activities which included coastal cleanup, planting of about 1,000 mangrove plants and an outreach to about 16 families.

Above activity is in line with the company’s year-long celebration of its 40th Anniversary this year and in support to the protection of our coastal areas by planting natural barriers to waves and storm surges.

“If there are no mangroves, then the sea will have no meaning.  It’s like a tree with no roots, for the mangroves are the roots of the sea!”
