This time, Bruno traveled from Saquarema to Arraial do Cabo to meet up with Marcos and join forces in removing debris from the area.

In less than three hours, we collected 460 of them, making it the most common type of debris in this cleanup. 📍Arraial do Cabo - RJ 🏝 Praia Grande 🗓 30.01.2025 ♻ 73.9kg recovered 🗑 7 volumes 👥 Bruno, Marcos @marinioac @preciousnoggles @rocketman @drgonzo

Aloha ocean lovers 💚 We’re thrilled to share an update on our January efforts! This month, we successfully completed 6 cleanup actions and recovered an impressive 288.6 kg of trash from beaches, rivers, and lagoons.

With your support, we can reach this goal and continue creating cleaner shores and healthier ecosystems. Let’s make it happen together! 🌎💪
