Every month, altogether we meet at different beach locations and make a Beach Cleaning next to an Underwater Cleaning composed of Scuba Divers coming from all over the world such as Sweden, Slovakia, Norway, France, Germany, the USA, Spain, and Belgium.

The Problem With Plastic

What is the point of single-use plastic?

Unfortunately, only 16% of it is recycled, therefore too much reach the sea which harms marine ecosystems. The region of Casares/Manilva is famous for its beautiful beaches, an important resource for both tourism and local wildlife.

🌊 The Mediterranean Sea has one of the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world

80%
of beach rubbish is plastic waste
2050
More plastic than fish in our oceans
8B Tons
leak into the sea every year

That's roughly equivalent to dumping a garbage truck full of plastic into our oceans every minute. And plastics never go away!

We must urge companies to provide consumers with plastic-free alternatives.
