Environment

One year after the execution of the #LlévateTuBasura program, our environmental education initiative, Ecoplayas developed the fourth beach-cleaning 2022, an event that allows monitoring how the campaign has worked and if people have been receiving and replicating the message in a positive way.

Here you can find out about each of the activities we attend, I hope you enjoy your reading and live with us a little of what we do.

This research consists of the multiplication of PaloSanto trees, that is, from a palo santo tree we will obtain many small trees.

For the month of beach cleaning, we held a beach cleaning at Tarqui-Manta beach, where 42 volunteers and  city institutions were present.

This is how we lived the cleaning beach held on Friday, August 26 at Playa Murciélago-Manta, together with Mingas por el Mar and Jóvenes de Otro Planeta.

A year has passed since we resumed this journey with the Educational Program for the Protection of Beaches #LlévateTuBasura, a project that has been worked on from 2010 to 2015; resuming with more force in 2021.

As part of our #PaloSantoDoneRight Environmental Education Program, we join forces with the Municipality of Manta-Ecuador and its Manta Reverdece program.

Looking for the sustainable use of the beaches, we signed an interinstitutional macro agreement with the Eloy Alfaro Secular University of Manabi, to work in an articulated manner on a Comprehensive Management Plan for Santa Marianita beach, where there are a large number of dunes that are used for turtle nesting, and is the habitat of much flora and fauna.
