Its great to see such work being done
ReplyDeletefrom the look of it your beach clean was successful
Thanks for your comment! Beach cleaning is so important in Boa Vista, there is SO much plastic and trash on the beaches, and it is bad for both turtles and tourism, so we are doing our best to raise awareness of the issue and to change the practice of throwing garbage into the water or on the beaches.
