Kayak Ocean Clean Up
We love Costa Rica and we love even more to show off the natural beauty of the country to everyone who comes to visit.
Unfortunately like everywhere else in the world we experience that there is an increasing amount of garbage in the ocean, most of which is in the form of plastic. We clean what we can on the beach and when were are out in the kayaks but we need help! So we decided to start a volunteer kayak ocean clean up project in our own back yard.
Included
Together, we paddle for the oceans | Join the Kayak Ocean Clean Up
We have a fleet of sit on top kayaks which are perfect for cruising around and scooping out garbage and plastic from the ocean. As a volunteer you have the free use of one of our single or double sit on top kayaks to paddle around the bay and islands picking up garbage/plastic.
After returning to Bahia Rica the garbage must be separated into what is recyclable and what is not. Your "catch" will be weighed and registered.
We offer you as Kayak Ocean Clean Up volunteers free use of our kayaks, in return for the collecting waste from the water and sharing this experience on social media with #bahiarica #oceancleanup #volunteer
