The Ecomar and Coca Cola Foundation were in the Galaic Natural Park of the Atlantic Iles.

The Ecomar Foundation, which is chaired by Thereza Zabell, and Coca Cola have moved Vilagarcía de Arosa to give effect to the third cleaning of the season along with the children of the School of Sailing of the Casino Liceo of Vilagarcía. About 30 children led by the volunteers Ecomar cleared a large part of the coast of Cortegada Island, the largest of an archipelago with other island groups, such as the Malveiras Islands or the Briñas Islands. Cortegada is located at the bottom of the Ria de Arosa, almost in the estuary of the Ulla River and is separated from the nearest coast by a channel of 189 meters wide which is a large sand bank converted for centuries into a shellfish nursery (especially berbers and clams), called for itChannel of the Vivers.These islands were declared a National Park in 2002 as one of the best samples of the ecosystems of the Spanish Atlantic coasts and seabed.

Some 30 children from the school of sailing and pyragüism moved on pneumatic and pyranguas boats, accompanied by the Civil Guard of the Sea, enjoying a magnificent day, though cloudy, in which they learned the importance of not throwing anything to the ground and recycling everything that is no longer to be used. The participants were received by the park guard and Theresa Zabell told them how the environment is respected while sports is being done, teaching them the difference between the circular economy and the linear economy, one of the star workshops in the Bitácora Notebook of the Ecomar Grimpola Program. After being around the morning collecting waste, the children returned to Vilagarcía with a 206-kilo loot, which Coca- Cola will become a product and deliver at the end of the season to the Food Bank to reach the most disadvantaged. The National Maritime Park of Galicia has given the name Ecomar to the area that the children cleaned.

They were part of this Galician adventure María Troncoso, responsible for the area of Coca- Cola, Francisco Javier Pérez Lafuente, director of the School of Sailing of the Liceo Casino de Vilagarcía, Mercedes Olmedo of the National Maritime Park of the Atlantic Iles of Galicia, José Luis Doval of the Food Bank, the Olympic medalist Antón Paz and the Civil Guard of the Sea, which accompanied the ships in their Singlada to Cortegada. From Vilagarcía de Arousa the volunteers Ecomar will travel to the Portuguese town of Carcavelos (Lisbon), where on July 27 they will act with the children of the Navy of Oeiras, which runs the Olympic medalist Nuno Barreto.
