Manta, the tuna capital of South America, was led by LA County Lifeguard veteran Bill White.  He was instrumental in working with the SNR and Recate Acuatico to secure our mission’s goals along with PE Director Gabriela Munoz Ocana.  Bill worked with Fundacion Salvares, the new national lifeguard association and SRN to volunteer at Murcielago and Santa Marianita.  Fundacion Salvares is the new organizational counterpart to Long Beach-Manta Sister Cities.  The hospitality was exceptional by our host city and we received continued support by Mayor Jaime Estrada.
