The Club Náutico of Águilas contributes to national nature clean-up event

Efforts to reduce the prevalence of waste along the coastline of Águilas

The annual “1m² contra la basuraleza” evento, which encourages people all over Spain to clear away litter and plastic waste from just one square metres of open countryside, has been supported again this year by the Club Náutico of Águilas, with around 100 volunteers collecting plastics from some of the coves and beaches along the 28 kilometres of coastline on 7^th June.

All in all, more than 12,000 volunteers nationwide took part in this year’s 9^th edition of “1m² contra la basuraleza”, gathering waste at 745 locations across the country and commemorating World Environment Day on 5^th June and World Oceans Day on 8^th June.
