**Over 900 Kilos of Trash Collected in Ensenada Beach Cleanup**
Ensenada, B.C. – The city of Ensenada recently wrapped up a significant environmental effort at Playa Hermosa, collecting over 900 kilograms of trash in a community-driven beach cleanup. This initiative, held at the mouth of El Gallo stream, marked a strong finish to March’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month, highlighting the power of collective action in fostering a cleaner environment.
Led by Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz, around one hundred volunteers joined the endeavor. Participants included members from various city departments such as Wellness, Education, Youth, and Ecology, as well as units focused on crime prevention and the environment. The cleanup also saw collaborations from several key organizations, including the Navy, the Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education (Cicese), local fire services, and support from councilors Ana Daniela García Salgado and Jorge Eduardo Vega Zamora.
The campaign was not just a cleanup event, but a call to action for the community to protect and preserve the region’s natural water resources. Locals were encouraged to partake in these efforts, proving that each individual’s contribution is vital to maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment.
In tandem with the cleanup, the city organized three “Water Guardians Fairs” in local primary schools throughout the month, emphasizing the importance of conservation to the younger generation.
The event was a testament to the difference community action can make. For those interested in ongoing environmental initiatives, keep an eye out for more opportunities to help maintain the beauty of our beaches.

**Increased Environmental Efforts Lead to Cleaner Beaches in Baja California**
Recent initiatives in Baja California have highlighted the growing community focus on environmental conservation, with notable efforts like the cleanup at Playa Hermosa in Ensenada setting an example. As part of a broader regional strategy to tackle pollution and promote ecological awareness, similar cleanups have been taking place across the coastline.
These efforts align with trends observed in other coastal areas, where local governments and organizations are stepping up their roles in conservation. Recently, additional activities have been launched aimed at protecting marine ecosystems, educating the public on the importance of reducing plastic usage, and implementing stricter waste management practices.
Furthermore, partnerships with educational institutions and non-profit organizations have facilitated wider participation in environmental actions throughout Baja California. These collaborations aim not only to clean up beaches but also to instill a sense of environmental stewardship across communities in the region.
Such comprehensive approaches ensure that both immediate and long-term goals are addressed, securing a sustainable future for the region’s natural landscapes. Continued vigilance and community involvement remain crucial as Baja California seeks to maintain the momentum in its fight against pollution and ecological degradation.
