Terra Peninsular was awarded $15,000 for “Reducing plastic pollution in San Quintín Bay, a coastal lagoon of ecological importance.” Having a clean, plastic-free bay benefits wildlife, as well as the health and well-being of people who engage in recreational outdoor activities as well as employment activities, such as fishing. Many bird species depend on this fragile ecosystem to rest, refuel, and nest. The project will not only remove plastic garbage and abandoned fishing gear, etc., but will work to create awareness within the local community about the impacts of this garbage and begin to tackle the root of the issue.
