Join us for our next clean up event, and add your own numbers to help us move towards a debris free Bonaire!

Debris Free Bonaire is a movement dedicated to reducing the amount of marine debris on and around Bonaire. We empower volunteers to work together in cleaning up and reporting debris, and to practice more sustainable actions in daily life that directly impact the health of our oceans and planet. Together, we can make a difference.
