EnglishWe’re getting ready for our first-ever harbor clean up in San Juan del Sur. Along with the usual coastline clean-up crews, we’ll be working with teams of boaters and divers to pull up, haul away, and inventory inorganic waste on the bottom of the bay (presumably mostly abandoned nets and traps).
Wokring with the Municipality of San Juan del Sur, the Reef Foundation, and San Juan del Sur CANTUR, we’ll host a Harbor Clean-Up Day.
If you’re in the area, and willing to get your hands dirty, join us Saturday, May 9th at 8am in front of Restaurante El Timón. If you plan to clean the harbor floor, bring your diving equipment. If you plan to help clean up the beach or the banks of the Rio San Juan del Sur, come prepared to walk in the sun for a couple hours.
The Cantur San Juan del Sur (the association of small and micro-businesses in the tourism industry) has also written about it (in Spanish) on their blog.
