The Community Lake
Monitoring Program was first introduced to the Municipality of Tanay on
05 June 2002 during the celebration of World Environment Day. A
Stakeholders Conference was held by the CLEAR (Conservation of Laguna
de Bay's Environment and Resources) as part of the roadshow
information campaign for the conservation of Laguna de Bay.
|
|
The
Tanay Environment Foundation readily accepted the challenge so that on
22 April 2003, coinciding the celebration of Earth Day, an
Orientation-Training for the Community Lake Monitoring Network was
conducted at the Tanay Municipal Hall. Attended by officers and
members of Tanay Environment Foundation and representatives of various
community organizations of the municipality, lectures on "What
is Secchi disk and how useful it is in lake monitoring?" and
on the procedure for water quality monitoring using Secchi disk were
presented. Field demonstration of sampling procedure was also
conducted at the Laguna de Bay. |
|
On 05-07 June 2003, fifteen high school students from various high
schools of Tanay participated in the Eco-Camp conducted by CLEAR. Designed to raise the
awareness of youth on environmental protection and sustainable
development, particularly as it applies to Laguna de Bay, the campers
had lectures and discussions, creative workshops, field work, fellowship
and group dynamics. To ensure their lasting commitment to the
conservation of Laguna de Bay, the campers became a part of the
Community Lake Monitoring Team for Tanay, Rizal. |
