Siete a\u00f1os de formar parte de una comunidad involucrada, que nos apoya d\u00eda a d\u00eda. Siete a\u00f1os de conservar las aguas que nos rodean. Siete a\u00f1os de conocer personas apasionadas por la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente en el que viven y tambi\u00e9n conocer personas no tan apasionadas que se comprometen igual.

En el 2012, la familia Hecht, muy involucrada en el movimiento Waterkeeper a nivel internacional, tuvo la iniciativa de invertir en la conservaci\u00f3n del agua de este peque\u00f1o para\u00edso y contactaron a Carolina Chavarr\u00eda Pozuelo para crear Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper.<\/strong> Se form\u00f3 la Junta Directiva con personas de la comunidad que apoyan y est\u00e1n comprometidas con la causa. El primer paso fue hacer un diagn\u00f3stico de la situaci\u00f3n del agua en esta zona costera e identificar qu\u00e9 es lo que la est\u00e1 contaminando, para as\u00ed crear la estrategia de la organizaci\u00f3n con sus cuatro l\u00edneas de acci\u00f3n: manejo de aguas residuales, manejo de residuos s\u00f3lidos, educaci\u00f3n y cumplimiento de la ley.\u00a0 Comenzamos con una persona y hoy en d\u00eda somos diez<\/strong> detr\u00e1s de la organizaci\u00f3n ayudando a la comunidad a asumir su responsabilidad de cuidar el medio ambiente en el que viven y trabajan. Cada d\u00eda de estos siete a\u00f1os trabajamos arduamente para poder crecer y mejorar internamente, as\u00ed como para poder entender mejor la naturaleza que nos rodea en pos de conservarla. Tenemos la suerte de tener una organizaci\u00f3n en este pueblo, que est\u00e1 en constante y r\u00e1pido crecimiento, para que su desarrollo vaya de la mano de la conservaci\u00f3n.<\/strong> Gracias a todos por apoyarnos siempre e involucrarse con el cuidado de este extraordinario planeta. Seguiremos trabajando con muchas ganas, esperando que cada d\u00eda seamos m\u00e1s los que apreciamos la sabidur\u00eda, riqueza y abundancia de la naturaleza lo suficiente como para entender la extrema importancia de protegerla.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n …<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tuesday, October 1st: Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper turned 7!\u00a0<\/strong> Seven years of being part of an involved community, which supports us day by day. Seven years of working to conserve the water that surrounds us. Seven years of meeting people who are passionate about the protection of the environment in which they live, as well as people who are not so passionate, but commit the same. Back in 2012, the Hecht family, very involved in the worldwide Waterkeeper movement, had the initiative to invest in water conservation in this little piece of paradise and contacted Carolina Chavarr\u00eda Pozuelo to kick-start the Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper.<\/strong> The Board of Directors was created assembling people from the community who supported and were committed to the cause. The first step was to make an assessment of the water in this coastal area identifying its main pollutants so as to create the organization\u2019s strategy and its four lines of action: wastewater management, solid waste management, education and awareness-raising, and law enforcement. We started with only one person and today, it\u2019s ten of us<\/strong> behind the stage of the local Waterkeeper\u2019s office helping the community members to assume their responsibility in caring for the environment they live and work in. Each and every day of these seven years we have worked very hard to grow and improve as an organization. We want to understand and create a relationship with nature so we can better preserve it.\u00a0 We are fortunate to have an organization like this in a town that is in constant and rapid growth, so that its development would respect natural resources.<\/strong> We are VERY GRATEFUL for all of you who value natural resources and have supported us throughout these 7 years! We will keep on working hard and passionately hoping that every day there will be more people appreciating nature\u2019s abundance and wisdom enough to recognize the extreme importance of preserving it!\u00a0<\/strong> Siete a\u00f1os de formar parte de una comunidad involucrada, que nos apoya d\u00eda a d\u00eda.
