Since 2007, Chevron’s coastal cleanups have helped the local sea turtle population grow, with a total of 4,261 hatchings as of January 2026. 

Tiny steps toward a thriving marine ecosystem. As a result of Chevron Philippines’ long-running coastal cleanup initiatives in Batangas, 146 Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings were safely released into open waters.

Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of Caltex fuels and lubricants, and several partner organizations released 146 Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings into open waters. This update comes nearly five months after its last Coastal Cleanup Activity, which had volunteers collect trash along the shoreline of the brand’s Batangas terminal to create an ideal nesting ground for this turtle species.
