Para finales de los ´70 el célebre Jaques Yves Cousteau escribió en su libro El mundo de los océanos; “El problema del mar en peligro es una cuestión seria, de vida o muerte. En todos los frentes reina la confusión, pruebas contradictorias y más contaminación. El problema más importante es de índole política: los países ricos se preocupan por la conveniencia; los pobres, por la supervivencia.
Continúa diciendo: “Ahora tenemos la crisis al alcance de la mano. Ya no se trata de los delirios de un profeta que anuncia con carteles que se acera el fin del mundo, sino de la observación de miles de individuos cultos y preocupados.”
Sin bien cerca de 3.000 millones de personas dependen su economía de los océanos, la preponderancia de su salud ha cobrado notable interés a nivel global, así como también nunca antes habían sido tan amenazados.
Nuestra porción de océano se ve afectada por problemáticas locales como globales; cambio climático, acidificación, sobrepesca y sobre uso, especies introducidas, estratificación y parálisis de los océanos, blanqueamiento, destrucción de hábitat relacionados y, entre otros más los residuos productos de la actividad humana.
La Iniciativa Bajo Tranquilo creada en el 2015 entró a formar parte del programa Dive Against Debris como el único programa de recolección de datos sobre escombros submarinos de su tipo en la isla de San Andrés, formando parte de una Red Global con presencia en más de 50 países alrededor del mundo que busca mejorar la salud de los ecosistemas oceánicos a través de esfuerzos de voluntarios y proporciona valiosa información sobre los desechos submarinos para ayudar a conformar cambio de políticas.
Texto: J.Sánchez
Más de tonelada y media de desechos se han retirado de zonas costeras en las jornadas de Recuperación Ecosistemas.
De manera exitosa se cumplió la Jornada N° 31 de Recuperación Ecosistemica, en el sector de Schooner Bight , con el apoyo de la Gobernación Departamental.
Durante la jornada realizada hoy un total de 82 llantas fueron extraídas. Allí los buzos trabajaron en la limpieza del fondo marino.
Para el logro del objetivo fue fundamental la cooperación de personal de la Armada Nacional y voluntarios comprometidos con el medio ambiente.
Ya se completan 658 llantas sacadas a la fecha, completando con ello un peso total de residuos solidos sumergidos extraidos de 15.048 kilos.
Con éxito destacamos que se siguen liberando varias criaturas en su entorno natural en la medida de lo posible, como formula para causar menor daño a las especies endémicas
Simultáneamente a estas actividades en el mar, se han desarrollado socializaciones respecto al tema de los residuos sólidos y la salud de los océanos en los colegios Flowers Hill Bilingual School, El Rancho y First Baptist School.

just people spending the weekend at the beach and leaving their stuff behind
thank you to all of you that participated and donated your time and effort to help the ocean.
unfortunately fire pits and barbecues are not uncommon to find left behind in this beach, but that is about the most random thing here.
bad viz, 50-60 degrees
