English: In a remote place, inside the paradisiacal Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve in

the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, GVI has an marine expedition (Pez Maya)

where volunteers from all over the world come to learn about and monitor a

part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. Pez Maya works not only

monitoring the reef but with the local communities to increase the awareness

in the region. As part of the activities that are done permanently, every

week we organize a beach clean where we pick up the litter and separate what

can be recycled. To join the activities on the 10/10/10 we decided that we

would do our normal beach clean plus some extra meters to make it up to 350!

After this the rubbish was gathered to create a "350" out of it, of course

we have recycled everything we could from the beach clean! Between 32

people, we managed to collect more than 10 bags of different kinds of

rubbish, mostly plastic. We wanted to take part in raising awareness about

350 particularly with the dramatic effect that high carbon dioxide

concentrations could have on coral reefs.
