UA group of volunteers, mainly students from the University of Algarve, cleaned the beach at Fuseta Ria over the weekend. The initiative was taken by the Oceanography Students Nucleus and had the logistical support of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Division and AmbiOlhão.
More than a dozen garbage bags, corresponding to around 30 kilos, were the result of a morning of work, in which even the good weather and the pleasant location helped with the work.
The garbage collected, much of it recyclable and which the Municipality sent to the respective recycling centers, consisted mainly of plastic, cans, glass bottles, cigarette butts and pieces of wood.
Investing in partnerships and developing environmental awareness actions, the Municipality of Olhão, through the Environment and Natural Resources Division, collaborated this time with the University of Algarve's Oceanography Students Nucleus, which thus led those interested in protecting the environment to a work action and, at the same time, playful.
It is also a way of sensitizing perpetrators to the importance of keeping the sands clean, and this is only done by not leaving the garbage there that others, concerned with the environment, end up having to collect.
