A recent article by Guana Noticias highlights how art and environmental action are coming together in Guanacaste through initiatives like Rising Tides at Sol Gallery.
The piece focuses on the growing movement to protect Costa Rica’s coastlines and marine ecosystems, particularly the impact of removing seashells from local beaches. What many visitors see as harmless souvenirs actually play an essential role in coastal ecosystems by supporting biodiversity, reducing erosion, and helping maintain the natural balance of marine habitats.
The article also connects these conservation efforts to the work of The Clean Wave, whose ongoing beach cleanups, marine restoration projects, and environmental education programs have mobilized thousands of volunteers across Costa Rica.
By using immersive art experiences as a platform for awareness, Rising Tides invites the community to engage emotionally with the ocean while supporting real conservation work happening along the Guanacaste coastline.
