Marezinhas em movimento at Cascais-Guincho bicycle path

It was during this morning that we made a visit to the little girls who travel every day to the Cascais-Guincho bicycle lane. This project, Marezinhas em Movimento, is one of the special projects that are part of the Maré Viva program and coordinated by Ana Daniela Madeira, 30 years old, with a degree in Physiotherapy.

In conversation with her, we discovered that the functions of the marezinhyas em movimento are to monitor the Cascais to Guincho bike path, provide tourist information and provide first aid services, clear the bike path to avoid road obstructions and 
control the number of holidaymakers and fishermen in the area of ​​Guincho until Cabo Raso.

A team of four boys and a team assistent meet each morning at the EcoCabana, in front of the Marechal Carmona Park, and make some routes towards Guincho to ensure better and more adequate support for tourists and also to make counts of people, fishermen, cars, animals, garbage, among other things. For better performance of their functions, they also have a first aid kit to help any bather or tourist you may need.

With two shifts, from 9am to 2pm and 2pm to 7pm, these little mags also help in the performance of some tasks of other little girls that are in Guincho beach, such as cleaning the accesses or even cleaning the bike path itself.

In this way, this project helps not only to closely monitor the tourists who frequent the beaches between Cascais and Guincho, but also to provide assistance in case of an incident.

Djombate, 21, has been the team's assistent to this team for two years and highlights the fact that this project has helped him to develop communicative skills and the desire to do more and better, to help, to feel useful.

If you like cycling and helping tourists, this is the ideal project for you and for the next year you have to register. Have you seen our marezinhas on the bike path?
