Sandwatch is geared towards instructing children, teens and adults about the marine and coastal environment’s fragility, and the need to use said ecosystems in a sustainable manner. The Project was developed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and administered locally in Puerto Rico by the Sea Grant Program.

Guardarenas tiene como objetivo concienciar a niños, jóvenes y adultos sobre la fragilidad del medio ambiente marino y costero y la necesidad de utilizarlo de manera sostenible. Dicho objetivo se consigue mediante el desarrollo de destrezas de pensamiento crítico y de solución de conflictos. De esta manera, se fomenta un sentido de solidaridad con el medio ambiente y se desarrollan soluciones efectivas para  resolver los problemas relacionados a nuestro entorno.
