Cleanup on PG's Coast Continues
posted (July 10, 2006)

On Friday we saw the coastline in Punta Gorda littered with all manner of garbage that floated in from either Guatemala or Honduras. The Toledo Institute for Development and Technology along with municipal authorities and other residents in the town came together on Friday and Saturday to try to clear it up. Despite working aggressively to gather as much as they could, all the debris and garbage was not cleared.

TIDE reports that the team working on Friday and Saturday pulled out about 100 bags of garbage but there is still a significant quantity that needs to be removed. TIDE is still appealing for anyone who can help them in the clean up effort to please do so.
