OceanPulse in Colombia: Clean-Ups & Education from Cartagena to La Guajira
From the tourist hubs of Cartagena to the wild deserts of La Guajira: We are uniting local NGOs and surf schools to build a permanent defense against plastic waste.
- Operational Area: Cartagena → La Guajira
- Timeline: February – March 2026
- Objective: Systemic Cleanups & Education with local NGOs.
Our Strategy: Beyond the Cleanup
Cleaning the beach is just the beginning. To create lasting change along the Caribbean coast, we are building a permanent infrastructure of protection. We connect urban centers like Cartagena with remote indigenous territories in La Guajira to stop plastic pollution on all fronts.
We don’t fly in as heroes. We equip the guardians who are already there.
- Local Alliances: Scaling impact with partners like Amigos del Mar & Inay.
- Direct Action: Removing tons of plastic through high-frequency cleanups.
- Education: Knowledge transfer to schools to stop pollution at the source.
PHASE 1: COMPLETED
Proof of Concept: La Boquilla
Our pilot mission was the crucial test for our model. We proved that combining community enthusiasm with professional logistics works, creating the operational blueprint we are now scaling across the coast.
- Location: La Boquilla
- Impact: 250kg Plastic Removed

UPCOMING: FEBRUARY 21
Stronger Together: Anniversary with "Amigos del Mar"
To create deep impact, we support those who are already there. We are providing the equipment and strategy to turn Amigos del Mar’s (https://amigosdelmar.org/) 11th anniversary into a massive community event. We are bringing together over 50 volunteers to clean and restore the beaches of Cartagena.
