The Balearic Young Navigators Association, in collaboration with the Calvià Town Hall and the company Teka , has carried out, another cleaning action on the municipality´s coast line. The elected area was Cala Figuera, which access is not able by a non existing footpath, thus being a beach without an ordinary municipal cleaning service. In total, almost a ton of waste materials has been removed.
The cleaning sessions have counted with the participation of 15 volunteers from the Balearic Young Navigators Association, which is carrying out a cleaning campaign of beaches around Majorca, on 9th and 10th August. Once the work finished, the collected waste materials were removed, with a Civil Defence vessel, to Calvià 2000 for their adequate treatment.
Both, the Cala Figuera´s bearings and its narrow orography make that all the waste materials dragged in by the ocean currents which enter on the cove, get anchored unableing its exit with the continuous current change. Therefore, it is important that an annual cleaning action is organized, in which the Calvià Town Hall´s Departments for Environment and Maintenance collaborate together with the Local Police, Civil Defence and Calvià 2000.
