The Problem

There is an ongoing ilegal privatization and urban development going on the beaches and coastlines of Puerto Rico even the law states that all beaches are public. Access is being cut off and private corporations are charging people entrance and parking.

Our Plan

Participate in protests against the destruction and privatization of natural maritime habitats and document ilegal development. If you are not from Puerto Rico, protect your country\'s coastline and beaches, don\'t limit yourself to just our island. Only go accompanied by an adult and with your guardian\'s permission if you\'re a minor.
