CALLING ALL CONSERVATION STORYTELLERS:

Did you know that every year, 50,000 tons of plastic fishing nets end up in the oceans? That is the same weight as 50,000 cars. Did you know that most of these are made of plastic that takes hundreds of years to degrade, never going away and instead ending up in our water, fish and even in the air we breathe?

In 2026 we have partnered withGuardianes del Mar (Guardians of the Sea) for an Expedition that will benefit their collective conservation efforts that involve communities throughout the Gulf of Tribugá. The Guardianes are leading the effort to tackle the problem of ghost nets from industrial fishing vessels and other unsustainable fishing practices, which threaten this precious ecosystem.

The Guardianes work in one of the most beautiful and biologically-diverse UNESCO sites in the world–a place where volcanic jungle meets the ocean. Linked by mangroves, which are nurseries for thousands of species including sharks, shrimp, crustaceans, fish and more, this is an experience you will never forget.
