To celebrate the Environmental Awareness month, BECQ has lined up activities for the public to both enjoy and learn from. Be sure to check out these activities, join the wave (or honk!), and volunteer at the cleanup if you can:
■ April 1: Environmental Awareness Month Waving at the Garapan Fishing Base on Friday, April 1, from 3:30 to 4:30pm.
■ April 7, 8, 21, 28, and 29: BECQ Laboratory Tours (by appointment only). BECQ will be opening up their facilities for Lab Tours to schools to give students a glimpse on what happens at the laboratory.

■ April 9: MIHA Wetland Cleanup. Prior to the island-wide cleanup on Earth Day, BECQ will also be leading a cleanup at the MIHA wetland, located next to Paradise Hotel in Garapan.
■ April 19 and 20: Environmental Expo at the CNMI Museum. Natural resources groups will be providing presentations for school groups on how students can all best help protect the environment.
■ April 22 and 23: Islandwide Cleanup.
