A reader has contacted La Voz to report the discharge of sewage that is being carried out at sea on one of the beaches of Playa Honda.

The images show how a pipe that passes just below the avenue is the one that pours these pollutants into the sea, although unfortunately it is very common in Lanzarote, especially in tourist areas. 

This causes an environmental impact on marine fauna and flora, but also on the population, as it can contaminate beaches with bacteria such as Intestinal Enterococcus and Escherichia coli
