We participate on the International Coastal Cleanup Day, an activity was carried out on September 26th at Chinchorro Beach and Las Machas Beach. The event was organized by the Maritime Authority of the Chilean Navy and the Maritime Governorate of Arica, bringing together diverse organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and volunteers from the Arica community.
Golden Omega was an active participant in this initiative, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection through its Olas Zero Plástico (Zero Plastic Waves) initiative and its strategic partner, the Museum of the Sea (Museo del Mar). The day was not only focused on cleaning the coastline but also featured informative stands and an atmosphere of cooperation, with the participation of schools, social organizations, and private sector representatives.
Lieutenant Commander Felipe Rodríguez Muñoz commented during the activity:
“This initiative sought to gather us around a shared mission: to protect and preserve our coastline, a natural and cultural heritage for all. The waste left on the sand—plastics, glass, cigarette butts, or metals—ends up in the sea, severely damaging the biodiversity and the health of our marine ecosystems.
The care of the sea begins on the beach. Participating in this activity is a gesture of respect towards nature and a commitment to future generations. Every action counts, and together we can demonstrate that a clean beach means a healthier sea, and a healthy sea is a guarantee of life for our community and for the planet.”
The activity helped to generate awareness about the importance of preserving our beaches and seas, reminding everyone that caring for the natural environment is a shared and fundamental task for future generations.
