The Tías City Council and WWF/Adena participate in one of the most successful activities of Aguaviva Canarias, in a meeting point for volunteers committed to the conservation of the oceans who on Sunday, June 1, will dive into the Barrilla Beach of Puerto del Carmen (Playa Chica) to free the seabed of the area from garbage, as well as the areas near the coast and the beaches.
The website of the music and environmental activities festival on the occasion of the World Environment and Oceans Days informs this week of the participation of Lanzarote in Aguaviva A Fondo, scheduled for the first day of June in Playa Chica, in Playa de las Vistas (Arona) and in Playa de Las Canteras (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
According to the page, "upholding this year's motto, 'United for the Oceans', NGOs, environmental associations, environmentalists, neighborhood organizations, divers, fishermen and other citizens, committed to the conservation of the oceans, will join their efforts simultaneously in specific points of Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, to free the seabed from garbage".
In this fourth edition of the 'ocean party', Lanzarote and Gran Canaria will participate for the first time with the aim of contributing to "generate solidarity awareness, in favor of our marine environment". The activity, collective and voluntary, is open to the
participation of all citizens and with an important environmental burden.
"In recent years, our oceans have become the planet's great landfill. Under our waters, a large amount of waste is hidden: plastic containers, metal parts, cans, car tires and even entire vehicles. Objects that volunteers found last year under the water?", says the festival organization through the Internet.
The collaboration of the volunteers will allow the cleaning of several segments of coast and bottoms in the three islands. The most striking and surprising waste will be the raw material used for the artistic creation of an installation projected by the Canarian artist Agoney Santana that will be exhibited to the public in the Paseo de Las Canteras of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and in the Playa de Las Vistas in Arona, Tenerife.
