Hundreds of volunteers have spent four days cleaning the seabed in Calp's port. By Friday, over 5,000 kilos of debris had already been removed, with the goal of reaching 10,000 kilos of waste accumulated over the years.
This initiative is led by Gravity Wave, an Alicante-based company that, in collaboration with the fishermen's guild, other companies, researchers from Imedmar-UCV, and volunteers, aims to give a second life to the extracted waste. "Pieces of plastic, nets, ropes... This has been accumulating for many years," explained José Rafa García March, scientific coordinator at Imedmar-UCV.
“"Gravity Wave started in Calpe, and we clean plastic in other countries, far from here, but we need to make our home the symbol of the global movement we want to build, and Calpe must be the cleanest place in the entire Mediterranean."
The Alicante company aims to make Calp a "symbol of the global movement" for environmentalism and the "cleanest place in the entire Mediterranean".
