Our Mission: Colombia starts now. OceanPulse is expanding its impact. After removing 250kg of waste in La Boquilla, we are partnering with Amigos del Mar & the Inay Foundation. Support our mission for clean beaches and education.

More Than Just Cleaning Up: Our Impact in La Boquilla

Our first effort was a complete success. In La Boquilla, we didn’t just remove over 250 kg of plastic waste from the beach; we made a statement. The local community saw that we don’t just talk, we act. But that was just the beginning. The ocean doesn’t wait, and neither do we.

Stronger Together: Anniversary with "Amigos del Mar"

Beach Clean Up Amigos del Mar Kolumbien

To create real change, you need local roots. That’s why we are proudly collaborating with the renowned NGO Amigos del Mar in Cartagena for their 11th anniversary (https://amigosdelmar.org/). For over a decade, this organization has combined water sports, art, and education to create perspectives for the island population of Tierra Bomba. OceanPulse brings fresh resources and our global network to scale this vital work and celebrate the anniversary with a massive clean-up action.

Into the Wild: Kitesurfing & Conservation in Mayapo

Our journey leads us further north, into the wild beauty of La Guajira. Mayapo is rapidly developing into a kite hotspot – and this is exactly where we must intervene before mass tourism leaves its mark. We are collaborating with Coco Kite Colombia and the INAY Association (https://www.inay-asso.org/), founded by Coco. The Goal: To steer growing tourism into sustainable channels from the very beginning. Inay does incredible work with the indigenous Wayuu communities, and we are supporting this bridge between tradition, sport, and environmental protection.

Training the Ocean Guardians of Tomorrow

Collecting trash is important. Preventing trash is essential. We are currently working at full speed to get the local school coordinator for Cabo de la Vela and Mayapo on board. Our plan: A large-scale education and clean-up action with the region’s school children.
The OceanPulse Difference: We don’t come empty-handed. We equip all actions with:

  • ✅ Professional equipment (sacks, gloves, scales)

  • ✅ Educational modules (Knowledge Transfer)

  • ✅ Long-term strategies
    We don’t leave behind clean beaches for just one day, but knowledge for a lifetime.

Be the Wind in Our Sails.

Equipment, transport, logistics, and educational materials cost money. Your contribution ensures that a local action turns into a regional movement. Invest in clean oceans and the future of children in Colombia. Invest in clean oceans and the future of children in Colombia.
