Súmate a la Ola Azul — Join the Big Beach Cleanup Across Baja California Sur
On Sunday, March 22nd at 8:00 a.m., communities across Baja California Sur are coming together for Ola Azul — a statewide coastal cleanup movement dedicated to protecting the seas, beaches and biodiversity that make this region one of the most extraordinary places on the planet. Whether you show up solo, with your family, or with a group of friends, every pair of hands makes a difference, and every bag of trash collected is a real, tangible step toward a healthier future for the communities and ecosystems that call BCS home.
This is more than a cleanup — it’s a growing movement that believes collective action can genuinely transform a place. Come ready to get your hands dirty for a good cause, bring the people you care about, and be part of something bigger than yourself. All are welcome.
Organizer
FONMAR (Fideicomiso Fondo para la Protección de los Recursos Marinos) is a state government trust established on November 29, 2004, in Baja California Sur, created to manage revenues from sport fishing permits and promote sustainable sport fishing across the state’s five municipalities. Operating in coordination with federal, state, and municipal authorities as well as civil society, FONMAR oversees sport fishing permit distribution, marine resource surveillance, environmental education campaigns, and the organization of an annual calendar of over 100 sport fishing tournaments along BCS’s coast. As an organizer, FONMAR brings full institutional backing from the government of Baja California Sur and a proven track record of coordinating large-scale fishing tournaments — making it the most authoritative and trusted partner for sport fishing events that promote sustainable marine tourism and position BCS as Mexico’s premier sport fishing destination.
Venue
Baja California Sur, Mexico’s second-largest state by area, occupies the southern half of the Baja California Peninsula, flanked by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Sea of Cortez—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site—to the east. Its landscape ranges from the Sierra de la Giganta mountain range and the Vizcaíno Desert biosphere reserve in the north to the subtropical cape region of Los Cabos in the south, producing a diversity of environments that supports everything from gray whale migration sanctuaries in Magdalena Bay to world-class sport fishing and diving in Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. The state’s cultural identity is rooted in the indigenous heritage of the Pericú, Guaycura, and Cochimí peoples, shaped by Spanish Jesuit missions, and further defined by a ranching tradition that survives in inland communities from Todos Santos to Miraflores. Today, Baja California Sur balances an internationally recognized tourism corridor anchored by Los Cabos and La Paz with a growing network of artists, artisans, sustainable food producers, and cultural festivals that reflect the state’s position as one of Mexico’s most distinctive and geographically singular destinations.
