The formation magenta urges the local government to start now studying measures to prevent the uncontrolled circulation of waste produced in Cala Cortina during the nights of summer period, especially during the weekend.
Summer has come to an end and with it the pleasant days on the beach as well as the problems associated with the mass of the same, so characteristic of these months.
However, in Cartagena UPyD they believe that the best time to start to solve the problems of summer is just the end of it, because in this way you have enough to design and implement appropriate measures judgment time.
The formation of the city magenta believes that addressing problems regarding the cleanliness and maintenance of Cala Cortina are basically two: one, the indiscriminate printing of all kinds of garbage in the sand of the beaches, especially during the nights and special intensity in the weekends;
and two, the stay of some of this junk on the seabed.
Cartagena UPyD wants to show that although the housekeeping staff assigned to the two small coves and the surrounding area with just hard work by solving the problem of garbage in the sand every morning, is however unable to prevent bathers more risers a very ugly picture of the beach, with the consequent deterioration of the tourist image of Cartagena are produced when these early bathers are also tourists staying in our city.
"The worst of this unpleasant situation lies in the fact that one type of waste is first thing in the morning, and we're not just talking about some papers and plastic packaging deposited there by an oversight, but napkins, diapers and used condoms, lots of cigarette butts, torn clothes, all kinds of spills on paved areas, urine and excrement depositions in some more sheltered areas as well as leftovers, among many other waste unceremoniously dumped there, "he explains Juan Daniel Mateo, Coordinator Manager UPyD Cartagena.
According to Matthew the situation in Cala Cortina goes beyond ordinary cleaning situation, and therefore considers that measures be taken of special character.
For it suggests that in order to avoid unpleasant state of the coves that often are the first swimmers, the cleaning staff, from one to two employees, at least during the days of Saturday, Sunday and Monday double, where they are more concentrated these unwanted situations.
Further it suggests that the increase in bins on the beach could help improve the situation, because it ensures that existing now just filled and causes those most responsible users do not have to pile more apparent solution bags waste around the bins.
As for the garbage that was just staying on the seabed, it is clear for the formation magenta that the solution is more complex, since it will require the periodic use of a team of divers, because the garbage is not only found in the funds more accessible, but especially offshore, more than three meters deep on many occasions.
But since the local training not think that because it is a more complex solution a municipal government can afford irresponsibility of allowing one of its beaches being polluted and disfigured by the abundance of trash in seabed or permitted so far this only problem has been faced by individual swimmers and diving instructors, sick and ashamed of dirt, they tend to get bags of nets full of all sorts of rubbish, as has been seen this summer.
From UPyD Cartagena ensure that some of these wastes come there because they are thrown into the sea directly but another part comes from the sand that due to waves, wind or other circumstances, ends up in the sea.
Therefore they believe that the measures will not be enough to take only the passive character outlined above, but would have to take proactive measures to discourage forcefully threw garbage on the sand and sea.
"In my opinion, the issue of Cala Cortina is not merely a matter of regular cleaning and maintenance, but we have a situation of strategic importance with regard to the development and strengthening of tourism in Cartagena. For an industry that has over a decade working hard to achieve attract cultural tourism of staying directly in the hotels in the city, it is imperative to offer a complement of fast and accessible bathroom, close to the city center, as supplemented during the hot summer months visits valuable archaeological and architectural heritage available to visitors.
Cala Cortina not only has the advantage of its unique proximity to downtown, but also has a very unique scenic beauty and about as suitable for novice scuba funds even regularly attracts clubs from neighboring provinces .
It is the responsibility of the municipal government to do everything necessary so that these characteristics are optimized so valuable for the enjoyment and benefit of all citizens of Cartagena and all those visiting our city, "Juan Daniel exposing ends.
