42 years keeping healthy the ocean.

From Texas to more than 100 countries.

Conclusion

We must keep clean our beaches because


our planet in 70% water and our body is
aproximately 65% water. Our life depends
of the water. If we dont take care about
the water, we are not taking care of us. So
I encourage everybody to take a Saturday
or Sunday to visit a beach and pick the
trash that careless people forget.
