The Boracay Solid Waste Action Team (BSWAT) is still busy in
cleaning the scattered stones or debris from the demolished seawalls at the
beach line of the island.
The stones are noticeable during low tide and these
construction wastes are being collected and manually put into sacks in order to
throw properly by the BSWAT.
This had been the system of BSWAT in accordance to the order
of Boracay Chief Operating Officer Glenn Sacapaño after it had been noticeable
that waves wash away the debris during high tide.
Although the task force admitted that an appropriate
solution was still needed for the problem, they said it was better that a
solution was being made so that the debris could be cleaned so that they would
not be obstructions to tourists.
Meanwhile, the Replenishment Program of the BRTF is being
awaited so that the lower part of the shore especially at Station 1 will be
filled using a vacuum that will siphon sand from the middle of the sea.
For the meantime, different recommendations from the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources and other agencies that had
been given the mandate to fix Boracay, are being awaited.
