Join the Beach Cleanup at Las Catalinas
Calling all community-minded individuals, this Friday, May 24th at 7:30 AM, Las Catalinas invites you to participate in a beach cleanup at Playa Danta. Let's work together to preserve the beauty of our coastline and make a positive impact on the environment. Bring your enthusiasm, comfortable clothing, a hat, and sunscreen to stay protected while we make a difference.
Nature Does Not Create Waste, Humans Do
In case you need some more compelling reasons to participate in a Guanacaste beach cleanup:
-
100% of baby sea turtles have plastic in their stomachs
-
88% of the sea’s surface is polluted by plastic waste
-
1 in 3 fish caught for human consumption contains plastic
-
The world produces 381 million tons of plastic waste yearly and 9% gets recycled
If you cannot make it to this cleanup, there are plenty of ways to get involved each week and create an impact in neighboring communities that share the ocean with us, especially during the green season when event participation may be reduced. We extend our gratitude to The Clean Wave, a not-for-profit organization in Guanacaste that spearheads year-round beach cleanups in our community, as well as training in zero waste activities. Their hard work is truly commendable.
This event embodies two of Las Catalinas' core values: a deep love for Costa Rica and a commitment to being a positive force in the country caring for nature and working hard to protect and enhance it. Join us for a morning of community, action, and a chance to give back to the beautiful region we call home. Register here to reserve your spot for this Friday's beach cleanup.
