Conservation Ongoing

Oceans Without Plastic

More than 2 tonnes of waste collected, 50 cleanup days organized and 400 volunteers mobilized. Join our coastal cleanups and learn while you act.

Direct Action Against Marine Pollution

Each month we organize at least one cleanup day on beaches and seabeds of Gran Canaria. Cleanups are open to all citizens and require no prior experience.

Citizen Science in Every Piece of Rubbish

We do not just collect trash: we classify, weigh, and document it. Each object is recorded with geolocation, which allows tracing the origin of pollution and designing public policies based on evidence.

Education for Prevention

We complement cleanups with workshops in educational centers, where we teach the life cycle of plastics and sustainable alternatives to reduce waste generation.

Results Since 2020

  • More than 2 tonnes of waste collected
  • More than 50 cleanup days organized
