Pérez Navarro, said that what most gathered on this occasion were cigarette butts since the beach is upholstered with these waste and microplastics, taking into account that this type of garbage is what is most watered and is what most it affects the waters of the sea.

He asked the users of the different beaches that the port has is that if they attend, do not clean them, but do not throw waste out into the open.

“We do not ask them to clean them, simply to take the garbage they bring, both those who sit under the umbrellas and it is the locals who should do a little more conscientiously so that they set an example for tourists” , ended.
