Save the Waves coalition, press release - Saturday, March 23, 2013 marks the second year of the campaign "Fuerza Chile! United for Clean Water" (Unidos por Aguas Limpias) for the preservation of Chilean beaches and coastline. Beginning in 2012 with five planned locations in three regions, the campaign grew into a grassroots national effort that included 16 sites in 9 regions.  Last year’s volunteer cleanup collected a total of 4,000 kilos of trash (over 500 bags) with the over 600 participants.  This collective action successfully cleaned more than 15 miles of Chilean coastline while restoring river mouths, estuaries, and beaches to their naturally beautiful appearance.
