Preservation…
MareBlu is an environmental conservation organization based in Costa Rica. Founded by Geronimo Ciuti, it focuses on reducing plastic pollution primarily through coastal cleanup expeditions. MareBlu also runs regenerative programs supported by an international volunteer program, attracting volunteers from over 25 countries. They operate out of a volunteer camp located in Punta Leona Resort, near several beaches affected by pollution from urban and fishing activities.

Volunteers’ efforts translate into piles of collected plastics, each piece a small victory for environmental preservation.
MareBlu not only focuses on cleaning but also on educating participants about the impact of plastic pollution.
The organization swiftly evolved from a local initiative into a beacon of international cooperation, drawing environmental enthusiasts who are eager to make a tangible difference.
Through these concerted efforts, MareBlu not only tackles the symptoms of pollution but also fosters a culture of sustainability and respect for nature among communities and participants.
