Ensenada, B.C. – As March comes to a close, marking the end of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month, the community of Ensenada has made a significant environmental impact with a major cleanup effort at Playa Hermosa. Over 900 kilograms of trash were collected at the beach, located at the mouth of El Gallo stream, highlighting the power of collective community action.
Taking the lead in this effort was Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz, who was joined by around a hundred committed volunteers. The participants were drawn from various city departments, including Wellness, Education, Youth, Ecology, and Environment, along with crime prevention units and specialized environmental teams like Zofemat. Additionally, the initiative received support from the Navy, Cicese (the Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education), local fire services, and councilors Ana Daniela García Salgado and Jorge Eduardo Vega Zamora.
The event was more than just a cleanup—it’s a reminder of the vital importance of safeguarding our water and natural resources. The initiative successfully encouraged locals to actively participate in environmental preservation, demonstrating how each individual can contribute to a cleaner and healthier community.
Throughout the month, Ensenada also hosted “Water Guardians Fairs” in local primary schools, spreading conservation awareness among young students.
