Our Surf Camp is a surf camp for young people and adults that shows a faithful commitment to the environment and invites you to show a commitment to its care and conservation.
This is why we are bringing you various news and environmental actions that are planned for the near future in our environment through various initiatives promoted by recently created platforms such as ZeroPlastikoUrdaibai.
The first of these is a clean-up day for the Urdaibai coastline that will take place on June 8 and which has already opened its registration for waste collection through its website, which we invite you to visit to learn more about the entity and its initiatives.
Those of you who surf regularly will know that surfing culture is very close to conservation, maintenance and respect for the environment, with a special emphasis on the sea. That is why we at Laga Surf Camp encourage you to participate in this initiative, collaborating as much as possible with the project and its promoters to keep our seas clean.
The initiative aims to involve 2,500 volunteers and more than 300 divers and boats, all with the aim of cleaning up the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve and also raising awareness about an increasingly serious problem: plastics in the oceans and seas.
The clean-up day will be completed with different awareness-raising activities about plastic at the Ekoetxea Urdaibai, the Basque Government’s environmental education centre located in Busturia, and headquarters of the Urdaibai Board of Trustees. These are important and necessary initiatives for the optimal maintenance of the planet. Don’t miss it!
In addition, we would like to share with you another piece of news that has particularly caught our attention and that is also directly connected to the oceans and the care of the sea.
From Argentina we are told about the beginning of the largest ocean clean-up in the world through barriers to collect plastic from the ocean, and specifically with the Ocean Cleanup initiative, whose mission according to its promoters is to develop “advanced technologies to eliminate plastics from around the world” and whose purpose is that the collected plastic can be reused or recycled by Ocean Cleanup.
At Laga Surf Camp we have a firm commitment to respect and care for both the sea and the environment in general, something we try to convey to the students who visit our facilities from day one, as we believe that surf camps, surf schools, and in general, all of us who work in the sea must have a special sensitivity and convey this message to all those who come to enjoy the sea and activities that have a direct connection with water, such as surfing, so that in the near future we can enjoy the sea without any worries.
