Pavones' May 23 & 24th 2009 Festival to Save the Golfo Dulce was the community's first salvo against tuna farming and drag net shrimping. The event was a success by every measure:
* Delivered 704 signatures to President Oscar Arias.
* Guaymi Indians showed strong support.
* Opposition candidate for Mayor of Golfito voiced support.
* The Tico Times wrote a full-page article.
* Mothers, fathers and children learned about the threats to the Golfo Dulce.
700 signatures of support proved that there are sufficient votes to force the municipality to publicly fund a referendum.
