Over 130 Volunteers Clean Up l'Almadrava and Ti Ximo Coves for Serra Gelada's 20th Anniversary
Over 130 volunteers, including students from The British College and El Padre Plata School, joined forces to clean up l'Almadrava and Ti Ximo coves in celebration of the Serra Gelada National Park's 20th anniversary. The event, organized by the park's staff, saw participants remove invasive plants and waste from both land and sea.
The clean-up involved various organizations, such as the Local Police Maritime Unit, divers, and paddleboarders. Around 90 pupils from the two private schools took part in the activities, which were part of a series of training sessions titled 'Your sea, your story, the traces you leave. How to explain the Natura 2000 network to your clients', held at the social center José Llorca Linares.
The event culminated in a talk by Rafael Barrero Sánchez, titled 'Silene d'Ifac, from the brink of extinction to the recovery of an iconic species'. In total, participants collected several dozen kilos of waste, mainly packaging, and removed about 180 kilos of invasive exotic plants from the coves.
The successful clean-up was a testament to the power of community involvement in environmental conservation. The event not only helped maintain the natural beauty of the coves but also educated participants about the importance of protecting the Serra Gelada National Park and its biodiversity.
