The Pastinaca Underwater Activities Club and other volunteers carried out a group dive to clean the seabed around Muelle Chico and the area near the Islote de la Fermina this morning.

The members of Pastinaca, equipped with bags, managed to remove numerous waste products thrown into the seabed of this enclave, also known as the commercial dock of Arrecife, in front of the José Ramírez Cerdá Park.

The mayoress of Arrecife, Ástrid Pérez, and the councillor for Beaches and the Environment, Ángela Hernández, have publicly expressed their gratitude to the members of Pastinaca and to all the volunteers in this new cleaning action in the seabed of the capital of Lanzarote.

In other previous initiatives and during this first year of Ástrid Pérez's mandate, CAS Pastinaca has also helped in the removal of waste in other enclaves of the coastline of the Arrecife seafront.
