OVERALL PLAN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION
The local Tourism Association is the arm of the Junta de Puerto Cayo (the provicial government, also known as the “paroquia”.) They are responsible for all environmental clean-up activities in our community.
There are several projects that currently being planned to improve the ap
pearance of Puerto Cayo.
- Local Education, Awareness and Pride Campaign
- Beach Clean-ups (Mingas)
- Strategic location of more trash cans
- General town clean up
- Clean up of roadways, including the improvement in the “basureros” (trash platforms) in front of properties
- Recycling Program
- Public Recycled Art Projects
It should be noted that at this time there is no budget in the paroquia to address any of these issues. All activities require donations, sponsors and volunteers. Nonetheless, acting on behalf of the Tourism Association, planning and progress are underway.
