another year, and this edition is 11, the Ocean Surf Club joins the campaign "Ocean Initiative" promoted by Surfrider Foundation. The traditional spring cleaning campaign will be held this year at the weekend between 24 and 27 March.
organized Cleaning by the Ocean Surf Club will take place on the beach Doniños, Outeiro area on Saturday, March 26, beginning the same at 12 noon.
Why is organized campaign of cleaning? Well, I think that everyone just give us around our usual beach that is obvious. The beaches, cliffs, lakes, river banks, ..., have become the "destination" tons and tons of waste from cities, industries, ...
As an example, Doniños. After winter, accumulated debris can be said for months that have literally taken parts of the beach, and in particular the channels through which flows the lagoon. Tonnes of waste of all kinds, dead animals, .... A long and nasty so that shows us a reality that knows no borders or rich or poor.
Obviously the goal of these cleanups is not quite fair to leave the coast. Would be futile and unrealistic to consider that goal. First, because the volume of waste is such that the volunteer work of a few tens People would be totally inadequate. And second, because probably less than a month the situation would be similar.
The aim with the cleaning is to denounce a situation, a problem that is global, and that is claiming as its victims. Each year thousands of fish and marine mammals die as a result of this pollution.
cleanings seek to call attention to the authorities not only to provide resources for the cleanup of these natural sites, but also and what is more important, to legislate regulations and allowing for a compromise in the future considerably reduce something like that could be considered as a "plague" global.
So by itself the slogan "Act locally, think globally", on Saturday 26 I hope everyone on the beach Doniños.
You can see other places where cleaning will take place at the consultation in Galician SURFGZ , or globally in the campaign's website: http://www.initiativesoceanes.org . To date there are more than 722 organized cleanups around the world.
