In addition, the chapter installed some protective fencing to minimize dune and coastal vegetative erosion at Middles today and began preparing some planting areas for the November 1st planting that will take place as a multi-participatory event including Rip Curl, Rip Curl Planet, Plastic Free Ocean, Surfrider Foundation Rincon, DRNA, and area schools. Contact salvatrespalmas@surfrider.org if your interested in helping.
Angela taking tally of the more than 300 plants/trees that we received in an order the chapter placed from DRNA. The plants are being kept at Vida Marina's greenhouse at UPR Aquadilla.
Before and after shots of one of the areas that we are going to plant based on suggestions from a field biologist at DRNA. We will be planting this bluff, and other areas, on November 1st.
This is an example of the walkways we helped Vida Marina build and will be placing between the protective fencing we installed today at Middles. We are collaborating with Vida Marina from UPR Aguadilla to mobilize these resources and put them into action.
It is tough to see the difference between this before and after shot but if you look closely you can see the fencing that we installed to prevent dune and coastal vegetation erosion in the middle of the picture.
This is a more clear shot of the protective fencing. The walkways will be placed in the middle. We would like to thank Vida Marina for giving our chapter the opportunity to puts these resources into action.
Here is the crew that helped make Day 2 of our Rip Curl Pro preparation initiative happen.
