Kilometro Uno

If you can't see it you may think it does not exist. But marine litter impacts the economy, society and the environment equally, with not a single restriction. Youth is aiming to creatively solve this problem, but are not considered on decision making. This is why Kilometro uno created “Youth's for the Ocean National Network” a structure that gathers and develops coastal, marine and oceanic youth-led projects from across the country and focuses on advances in research, innovation, capacity building, and public policy.
