Protocol

The action area extends upriver, from A Barquiñato the Seilán viaduct. It is divided into 10 zones (A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and Classification) (See map). The two waste classification areas will be set up in the parking lot of the old hospital in Seilán (not the same place as the previous cleanups in the area). Sections F, G, H and I require traveling by car after roll call.
Each zone has a group of participants associated with the corresponding coordinators.
Roll call at 3:00 p.m. at the meeting point of  Seilan Hospital; at the end of the cleaning we return to this point to help with the classification. After roll call, those who work in sections F, G, H and I will depart by car to the area.

Things to take into account

  • Attention to unknown liquids. Do not pour!
  • Bulky, transport without putting them in bags.
  • 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.
