Marina del Este collaborates one more year with the VI International Seabed Cleanup, awarded by the Ministry of Development

• An initiative coordinated by the GEA Volunteering Association, in Granada and which last year received the Maritime Rescue Award for "Best Awareness Initiative for the Protection of Our Seas".

The Marina del Este Marina again collaborates with the "VI International Seabed Cleaning" that will take place next Saturday 26 September and that for the third year is held on the seabed in front of the beach off Marina del Este.
This activity, coordinated by the GEA Volunteering Association, in Granada, declared a Public Utility Entity and the Marine Watchdogs Network, won last year the Maritime Rescue Award, granted by the Ministry of Development, "Best awareness-raising initiative for the protection of our seas". This award recognizes the work of the more than 2.000 Network volunteers with divers involved in the fight against marine litter.
Ecological cleaning ranges from the beach off the Marina to the Rock of the Wolf; the team will be made up of fourteen divers organized by couples, a logistics team, Cataloging, weighing and taking data on the beach, as well as support volunteers in groups of 10 people.

For the development of the activity, from Marina del Este you will give up a support boat for the collection of the waste that divers are taking from the bottoms and bringing them closer to the shore. In addition, the marina will also provide containers for the proper classification of waste and waste that is being removed and their subsequent recycling.

From the Marines Group of the Mediterranean, your Chief Operating Officer, Alejandro Suanes, has indicated that "we are always ready to collaborate with such initiatives whose purpose is the cleanliness and conservation of the environment and that go very far in line with our own company philosophy".
In this sense, it should be remembered that Marinas del Mediterráneo is also collaborating with SOS CORALES, the first scientific coral recovery project in the Punta de la Mona area, in East Marina, launched by Marine Balance.

Abandoned fishing nets are used for waste collection, which are subsequently manufactured by a group of women specialists, thus creating employment and recovering a traditional trade. In addition, this year the kilos of garbage removed are validated for food that will be donated to the Spanish Federation of Food Banks.

This activity is carried out simultaneously in different points of the Spanish and international geography such as Peru, Brazil and Colombia. This initiative is supported by the Libera, that drives Ecoembes; The Zero Spills Association, THE GEA Environmental Volunteering Association or the Marine Watchdog Network.
