GARABITO

Surf Care in Garabito is a strategic pillar and is closely linked to Costa Rica's environmental goals.

• Blue Flag Ecological Program:
  Many of the region's beaches participate in or have obtained the Blue Flag Ecological certification, a program that certifies water quality, safety, and environmental management of the beaches.

• Mangrove Preservation:
  There are strong conservation programs for mangrove ecosystems, crucial for marine health, which involve the surfing community in clean-up and educational activities.

• Water Safety:
  The focus on prevention and safety on the beaches of Jaco and Playa Hermosa (where the waves can be very dangerous) is a key component of Surf Care .
