DOST to help rid Boracay of green algae

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is helping the Malay town government in Aklan rid Boracay Island of the green algae bloom.

DOST-Aklan Chief Jairus Lachica said Dr. Melinda Palencia, a professor and environmentalist from Adamson University, presented her program to the Malay Municipal Council.

Untreated wastewater is being blamed the resurgence of green algae along Boracay’s white beaches.

Lachica said Dr. Palencia invented the vigormin, an eco-friendly septic system (ECO-SEP) technology for treating wastewater.

The eco-sep is a deployable septic tank system that is based on the settling, aerobic digestion, and filtration of sewage/septic water.

According to Lachica, the eco-sep was first introduced in Boracay in 2015.

The eco-sep is now widely used in different tourist destinations such as Bohol and Palawan.
