Ensenada, B.C. – As March drew to a close, marking Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month, the community of Ensenada united for a massive beach cleanup at Playa Hermosa, located at the mouth of El Gallo stream. The collective effort resulted in the collection of over 900 kilograms of trash, showcasing the significant impact that can be achieved when a community pulls together.
Under the leadership of Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz, approximately one hundred enthusiastic volunteers participated in the cleanup.
