We work to improve the quality of life of young people in our autonomous community, developing actions and programs that benefit them, increase their well-being and allow them to improve their skill.
💼 What the programme involves
This work camp will focus on the environmental recovery of the coast from the As Sinas beach to the port of Vilanova de Arousa, passing through the O Bao beach, the A Braña beach, the Illa de A Insuinha and the area of rafts (floating nurseries that consist of two parts: the surface, normally rectangular in shape and built with eucalyptus wood crossbars with floats, and the submerged one, made up of ropes where the mussels adhere) from Vilanova. ROV-type drones will be hired to locate and guide the search for polluting, plastic waste and other defects from human action to continue cleaning or cleaning up our environment, in this case also the funds.
