Short description of the action
Educate, raise awareness and act with children all over the country.
To solve a problem you must be aware it exists and understand what you can do to be part of the solution.
We do workshops with all those children that want to learn nautical sports so they understand why we are living this situation and act with them on beaches and out in the sea so they see and feel the magnitude of the problem.
Over 15,000 people participate every year in our activities, mostly kids who are extremely receptive and then share the messages learnt with their surroundings.
