Costa Rica

The PROMAR project in Cieneguita, Limón, engaged over 110,000 community members in marine waste prevention, organizing 24 beach clean-ups that prevented 1,395 kg of plastic waste from entering the Caribbean Sea. A floating waste collection system was installed in the Chocolate River, and plastic recovery increased by 226% during the project. Monthly school campaigns continue to educate students on proper waste management.
