Somos Una Ola
Beach cleaning initiative
About
Somos Una Ola (#SomosUnaOla) is a volunteer-driven socio-environmental movement based in La Palma, Canary Islands, dedicated to coastal cleanup and marine conservation. Every cleanup is logged publicly — location, date, and kilograms collected — building a transparent record of community impact.

The Story
Gustavo Díaz — the same person behind Herrumbre Vivo Arte — runs Somos Una Ola as a volunteer initiative. I built their website so the work they do in the field has a public record that lasts: every kilogram counted, every beach named, every volunteer action documented.
