**Over 900 Kilos of Trash Cleared in Ensenada Beach Effort**
Ensenada, B.C. — As March concluded, marking a significant focus on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene, the city of Ensenada held a substantial cleanup operation at Playa Hermosa. At the mouth of the El Gallo stream, over 900 kilograms of trash were collected, showcasing the community’s power to instigate positive environmental change.
Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz spearheaded this initiative, with about a hundred enthusiastic volunteers teaming up for the cause. Participants included members from diverse city departments such as Wellness, Education, Youth, Ecology, and Environment, alongside crime prevention units. Environmental specialists like Zofemat, the Navy, Cicese (Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education), local fire services, and councilors Ana Daniela García Salgado and Jorge Eduardo Vega Zamora, also contributed significantly.
This event underscored the crucial role of safeguarding water and natural resources. Beyond mere cleanup, it served as a potent reminder to the community about environmental conservation. Throughout March, the city organized three “Water Guardians Fairs” at local primary schools, spreading awareness about conservation to younger generations.
