**Over 900 Kilograms of Litter Removed in Ensenada Beach Cleanup**
Ensenada, B.C. – Concluding March’s focus on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene, a significant cleanup initiative took place at Playa Hermosa by the El Gallo stream in Ensenada. The collective efforts resulted in the removal of over 900 kilograms of trash, underscoring the impact of community collaboration in achieving meaningful environmental improvements.
Led by Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz, the initiative brought together around a hundred volunteers from various city departments including Wellness, Education, Youth, Ecology, and Environment. Participants also included crime prevention teams and specialized environmental units like Zofemat. The cleanup received additional support from personnel representing the Navy, the Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education (Cicese), and local fire services, alongside councilors Ana Daniela García Salgado and Jorge Eduardo Vega Zamora.
This drive was more than a mere cleanup operation; it served as a critical reminder of the necessity to safeguard water resources and nature. It aimed to encourage locals to engage actively in maintaining a cleaner community environment.
Throughout March, the city also organized three “Water Guardians Fairs” at local primary schools to promote conservation awareness among young students. This event highlights the power of community actions, demonstrating how individual contributions can lead to greater environmental preservation.
