La Cala del Salaret became the focal point for a significant clean-up mission, where thirty-one volunteers, composed of ten divers, six children, and fifteen land participants, worked together to restore the area’s natural beauty. This effort, organised by the Torrevieja Diving Club, resulted in the removal of over one hundred fifteen kilograms of waste from the coast.

The clean-up effort, which began early in the morning, witnessed volunteers extracting various forms of litter from both the shoreline and the seabed. Among the items retrieved were twenty-six kilograms of cans, fourteen kilograms of plastics, six kilograms of paper, and even a syringe alongside one thousand six hundred eighty-six cigarette butts. The stark volume of waste highlighted the pressing environmental issues faced by marine ecosystems.

Education was a key element of this initiative, with children enthusiastically learning about the consequences of waste on marine life. The event served not only to clean but also to instil a sense of responsibility toward environmental conservation within the community. An unexpected visitor, a snake, was found during the cleaning, but was safely managed by local authorities.

The Torrevieja Diving Club expressed pride in the volunteers’ commitment and reiterated that maintaining the health of our oceans is a shared responsibility, beginning with small but impactful actions. This clean-up is part of the club’s ongoing efforts to promote marine conservation initiatives in the region.
