Bastion Point, in VIctoria, Australia, has entered the second sad week of witnessing the continued destruction of their beloved home point. After more than 10 years of fighting ill conceived plans for a new breakwater and boat ramp at Bastion Point, bulldozers have begun their task of destroying a national treasure.
On March 23rd, over 600 volunteers removed over 4,500 kilos of trash and debris (more than 750 bags of trash), cleaning and restoring beaches, river mouths, and estuaries along more than 34 kilometers of Chilean coastline.
Join the next phase of the Fuerza Chile! Campaign with Save The Waves Coalition to help them fight for clean water along the amazing central coast of Chile.
Chile is somewhere that I have wanted to go for some time but, for whatever reason, I haven’t made it yet. By all accounts it’s a land of adventure, beauty, waves, wine, culture and, from what I have read, a place that remains dear to the hearts of those who visit.
Save The Waves Coalition will be part of the First International Conference on the Protection of Waves to be held next week in the Canary Islands.
