Closing the year by protecting where land meets sea
On December 31, 2025, KLM volunteers chose to close out the year the same way they opened it — by showing up for Loreto’s coast.
The Nopoló Boat Ramp is a small place with an outsized impact. This is where boats, people, hikers, and the ocean all converge — and where trash can quickly make its way into the Gulf of California. On the final day of the year, volunteers gathered at the boat ramp to remove bags of trash, plastics, beer bottles, and other debris before it could be carried into the water or harm marine life.
This hands-on cleanup helped protect water quality, wildlife, and safe access for local residents who enjoy this shoreline every day — and it served as a powerful reminder that caring for the environment doesn’t wait for a new year to begin.
In 2025, KLM:
Closed out the year with a volunteer-led cleanup at the Nopoló boat ramp on December 31
Removed plastics, glass, and waste before it could enter the Gulf of California
Improved safety and access at a frequented coastal gathering point
Reinforced shared responsibility for caring for Loreto’s working waterfronts
Ending the year with action reflects what KLM’s work is about — consistent care, community commitment, and protecting the places that connect Loreto to the sea.
