Limpieza de Playa y Marina
in english
Dia de Trabajo # 6
Hoy, día final de limpieza de playas del programa “Restauración de Arrecifes de Coral 2008-2009”, fue un gran éxito. Tuvimos más de 40 voluntarios ayudándonos en este esfuerzo. Surfrider Foundation Rincón le gustaría dar gracias en especial a Samanta Chardón Ortiz, profesora de la Escuela WALKS en Mayagüez, por venir con sus alumnos y padres de alumnos. El clima agradable permitió que los voluntarios pudieran recoger una gran cantidad de desechos en todo el puerto deportivo y las playas.
Los voluntarios recogieron sillas de playa viejas, cruzacalles de "Don Q", botellas plásticas, latas, botellas de cerveza, papel, ropa, equipos viejos de metal, llantas, y mucho más. Además, algunos voluntarios recortaron arbustos con un 'trimmer,' cortaron árboles con machetes, y trasladaron objetos pesados con tractor.
Después de tres horas de trabajo, se habían acumulado 4 montones de desechos; uno de basura, uno de objetos grandes de metal y neumáticos, uno de desperdicios, y otro de chatarra. Surfrider Foundation Rincón, todos los voluntarios, turistas, y las empresas en el puerto deportivo les gustaría dar gracias al Municipio de Rincón por recoger y apropiadamente disponer de todos los desechos recogidos en este esfuerzo, este lunes en la mañana. Mil gracias por toda su ayuda!

Beach and Marina cleanup in Rincón Puerto Rico

Beach and Marina Cleanup
en español
Work day # 6
Today, the final beach and creek, or marina cleanup in this case, of the 2008-2009 Coral Reef Restoration program went out in style when more than 40 volunteers came out to make Rincón's Black Eagle Marina and adjacent beaches clean. Surfrider Foundation Rincón would like to thank Samanta Chardón Ortiz, a teacher from WALKS School in Mayaguez, for attending the event with her students and their parents. Beautiful weather allowed the volunteers to gather copious amounts of debris around the marina and along the adjacent beaches.
The volunteers collected all sorts of debris ranging from old beach chairs and 'Don Q' banners, to plastic bottles, cans, beer bottles, paper, clothing, metal rebar and parts of old equipment, and tires. In addition, some volunteers cut hedges with a 'weedwacker,' trimmed trees with machetes, and moved heavy objects with a tractor.
After three hours of working under the beautiful Caribbean sun 4 piles of debris had accumulated; a pile for trash, a pile for large metal objects and tires, a refuse pile, and another pile of miscellaneous scrap metal. Surfrider Foundation Rincón, all the volunteers, the tourists, and the businesses in the marina would like to thank the Muncipality of Rincón for removing the piles of debris from the marina on Monday morning and disposing of the debris in a proper disposal area. Thank you for all of your help!
