What this video covers

The Remar, Limpar e Ensinar project combines long-distance stand-up paddleboarding with coastal cleanup and environmental education. Founded in 2016 in Florianópolis, Brazil, the initiative involves paddling to remote, inaccessible beaches to collect marine debris, which is then transported on the paddleboard for proper disposal.2:42 The project has expanded to include visits to over 160 schools across the southern and southeastern Brazilian coast, reaching more than 16,000 students.19:03 Educational activities focus on the path of waste from rivers to the ocean, using collected trash to demonstrate the impact of plastic pollution on marine life like sea turtles and whales.20:54 The founder, a physical education teacher, utilizes wide-body paddleboards equipped with cargo nets to manage the weight of collected waste while navigating surf breaks.8:04 Future plans include circumnavigating Ilhabela and Ilha Grande to continue cleanup and outreach efforts.15:31 The project relies on corporate sponsorships and community support to sustain its operations and logistics.16:14
