The Beach Cleanup by NP Waterkeeper aims to reduce the amount of solid waste on the beaches of the area through weekly beach cleanups, ensuring proper disposal of each type of collected material. We have a staff of 5 people (+volunteers) who are cleaning the beaches from Monday to Friday.
The most exciting part about this project is that it brings a solution for beach tragic plastic, which could not be recycled! We joined the national environmental initiative Paisajes sin Plástico, to insert tragic plastic we collect on the beach into concrete blocks for construction using the RESIN8 technology, which is currently being implemented in only 3 other countries worldwide.

Sewage pollution in streams and beaches is one of the main environmental issues in Santa Teresa. This is why we want to share more accurate information about which points in town are safe to enter for having a good time swimming or surfing without getting sick!
We are currently fundraising to buy new water quality testing equipment, so more accurate data can tell locals and visitors which points are safe to enter without pollution to the sea. Amazing right?
