They started in 2018 as “vacations with a purpose” and soon grew into a a bigger volunteer project. They soon gained interest from companies who wanted to fulfill their sustainable Bandera Azul certification. MareBlu is the ONLY corporation in Costa Rica that processes 100% of the plastics they collect. They also employ the local community as well as plant trees and build artificial reefs in the surrounding areas.
