Surfrider Foundation and Surfing Magazine have organized a beach clean up on ISD, so we'll be there doing our part.

Catch a wave and help keep the beaches clean.

Have you been able to get any support locally from any groups that would be in a position to prohibit this development. Environmentalists, politicians, taxpayers, etc. Maybe this could get you a bit of steam rolling, and then with a bit more conversation with the Surfrider or other environmental foundations some additional assistance might be available. Sounds like your pursuit of guidance is the right way to be thinking at this stage. The economics of the fight can come once there is a plan in place. Good on you for keeping your stance. Figuring out the best way to get the word out seems to be the top priority at this stage. Hopefully your ISD beach clean up can help you with that. Stay with it...

For some reason they thought we where looking for economical aid, when in reality we were trying to have some experienced advise on how to get things started, in the understandind that precisely this people have a lot of experience in this matters, so if the wheel is already invented invented, right?

La Boya is not only in ecological danger from the huge pullution in the area, but also by the expansion proyect of the Caucedo port, an expansion that would totally destroy the break.
