Hundreds of volunteers will clean some Limenian beaches tomorrow, like Chucuito, Ventanilla, Ancon and Santa Rosa, as part of a bigger campaign called "International Cleaning of Coasts and Shores - Peru 2009".

The initiative, launched on September 19th by Peruvian Navy and VIDA (“Life”) Institute, with the aim of creating awareness about the effect of garbage in the marine seaside ecosystems.

The campaign includes conferences and activities like cleaning beaches and rivers, lakes and lagoons, involving the community and public and private institutions.

Volunteers eager to participate in this campaign are invited to be at 8:00 A.M. at Carpayo, Cantolao, Arenilla and Malecón Pardo beaches; as for Ventanilla, people will gather at Plaza Cívica and then will go to Costa Azul beach afterwards.

In Ancón, volunteers will clean the Conchitas and Santa Rosa beaches, and Navy will clean some sections of Rimac River.

Callao Regional Government, Ventanilla, Ancón and Santa Rosa Municipalities, Ancón Educational Units, Satelite Radio, Repsol YPF, Taboada Purification Plant and Coca Cola Company are supporting this campaign.
