During the meeting, cooperative members expressed their commitment to the cleaning and maintenance of Praia de Tantum. A comprehensive plan to conduct regular clean-up campaigns involving both cooperative fishermen and local community members was discussed. The idea is not only to remove existing waste, but also to educate visitors about the importance of properly disposing of waste and preserving the marine ecosystem.

In addition, the creation of green spaces was also on the agenda during the meeting. The cooperative intends to transform currently underutilized areas for planting sugar cane, coconut trees, mango trees, providing residents of the region with pleasant places for leisure and socializing. This initiative will not only beautify the area, but will also contribute to the quality of life of the inhabitants of Lomba Tantum.

One of the members of the Board expressed enthusiasm about these new initiatives: "We are committed to not only enjoying the natural resources that surround us, but also to protecting them for future generations. The cleaning of the beach and the creation of green spaces are important steps towards achieving this goal."

The need for training in the area of engine repair was also discussed at the meeting, which led to the commitment to draw up a project in this regard.

The meeting was also attended by representatives of local environmental organizations, who praised the cooperative's efforts and pledged to provide technical support and resources for the projects.

With cooperation between the cooperative, local residents and environmental organizations, these initiatives are expected to transform Lomba Tantum into an example of how environmental preservation and sustainable development can go hand in hand, benefiting both the community and the local ecosystem .
