Maintenance of the coast
With the beginning of summer, the City Council has launched a specific and exclusive service for the maintenance of the beaches of our coast.

130 workers;
142, together with those of the Community. They have at their disposal 25 vehicles and 6 clean beach machines, which work mainly at night.
Cleaning on the beaches of the South of the Mar Menor is done by combining machinery and manual labor, following the recommendations of the scientists, which establish what can and can not be done at any time of the year.
One of the reasons why the regional and central governments are so urgent is the Mar Menor and the need to activate the Zero Discharge plan.
