LIVING PLANET
Guided by a partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Costa del
Hamilo, Inc. is committed to the low-impact sustainable development of Hamilo
Coast. The company strictly follows environmentally responsible construction
practices in accordance with the highest international standards. So the raw
natural beauty of Hamilo Coast can be enjoyed for generations.
A "true giant clam seeding" was held at Pico de Loro Cove with giant clams
brought in from Bolinao, Pangasinan. One hundred Taklobos, as they are locally
known, now inhabit their new home off the shore of Pico de Loro Cove. The clams are
good for the waters of Hamilo Coast as they provide nurseries for a host of fish and
invertebrate species that make up the marine life of Hamilo Coast's pristine waters.
WWF has been measuring the property’s ecological footprint - the amount of resources
used in daily operations offset by the land’s capacity for regeneration. Doing this step,
Hamilo Coast will be able to manage its impact on the ecological balance of the property
so that guests can enjoy the natural splendour of Hamilo Coast without damaging it.
