The sea turtle hospital in Las Tunas, Manabí, will be an invaluable tool for conservation, as well as for promoting environmental education and community participation in the protection of coastal ecosystems.
The hospital design will include areas for medical care and rehabilitation, as well as staff facilities and laboratories for research.
It also seeks to implement educational programs aimed at local communities and visitors to raise awareness of the importance of coastal ecosystem conservation.
This project is being carried out with the Mingas por el Mar Foundation and the Juvimar Foundation.
The Agua Sagrada project seeks to implement an efficient and simple system for wastewater treatment in coastal communities in Ecuador.
Since 2023 in the community of La Entrada Santa Elena, several workshops have been implemented to raise awareness in the community about the critical relationship that human beings have with water and the urgent need to protect this vital resource from any form of contamination.
In this sense, the focus of the project is to collaborate in the regulations on construction standards, water supply and sewage treatment.
We have been working since 2021 on the reactivation of groups of beach cleaning called "Mingas". The Recycled Garbage Collection Center has also been reactivated, where we separate recyclable waste and deliver it to the Puerto Lopez Recyclers Association.
We work hand in hand with the organization Mingas por el mar which is the organization working at a national level registering the data collected from each Mingas group and sending an annual report to the government. Thanks to this effort the plastics law in Ecuador is already in enforcement.
We also cooperate with Colectivo Cabos whose focus is the reuse of fishing ropes and nets that are found washing up daily on the beaches.
This initiative seeks to educate the community involved in fishing and give them a future economic benefit in return for the ropes that are collected from the sea.
