Benidorm and Mundomar are organising TODAY, Saturday, a day of cleaning the seabed in the Castell cliff area

The activity will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and there will be environmental educators to raise awareness about the importance of keeping the coast clean.

The Department of the Environment of Benidorm City Council and the Mundomar Foundation have organised a seabed clean-up day for today, Saturday, 7 September, which will run from the beginning of Levante beach in Torrejó to Mal Pas beach, covering the entire area of the Castell cliff, a place with difficult access.

The event, which is being held to mark International Diver's Day, will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will be attended by divers from the Mundomar Foundation, the Fire Department, the region and volunteers. The Councillor for the Environment and Beaches, Mónica Gómez, indicated at the presentation of the initiative that the aim is to "raise awareness of the importance of caring for the seabed, the beaches, of not leaving objects behind, etc."

To this end, there will be environmental workshops led by an educator who will explain to the attendees everything that will be done during the day and will raise awareness about the need to keep the coast clean. This initiative will also have the collaboration and support of the Local Police and the concessionaire of the beaches, RA Benidorm.

Gómez has encouraged “everyone, and especially the youngest, to come and see how this event unfolds and to learn first-hand the importance of caring for the sea.”

Javier Sánchez, from the Mundomar Foundation, explained that the workshops “will show the little ones that many things can be made, such as toys, with what is collected from the sea.” Sánchez recalled that a few years ago they also carried out another cleaning day, this time in Rincón de Loix, “in which we took out from the seabed many objects, utensils, bags, plastics, etc.”

Mónica Gómez, finally, recalled that the beaches of Benidorm have a comprehensive system that cleans the sands several times a day. “But this type of event also helps to preserve underwater flora and fauna in places that are not easy to access and require more specialized personnel, such as divers.”
