Protocol

The area of action extends from Siavo (shipyard) to Requeixo cove. It is divided into 10 zones (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and Classification) (See map of cleaning zones). The waste classification area was set up at the western end of Broña beach (on the same site as previous cleanings).

Each zone has a group of participants associated with the corresponding coordinators.

Get ready at 10:30 a.m. at the meeting point at the Broña beach parking lot, and from here we will walk to the different cleaning areas. Group A from Siavo travels by car. The classification site is at the western end of Broña beach (we have already been classifying there); at the end of the cleaning of our area, we moved to this point on foot, to help with the classification and sign the assistance part.

We also collect small pieces of plastic (there are many), as they are the first ones to enter the food chain and can end up affecting the seafood.
