**Over 900 Kilograms of Trash Removed During Ensenada Beach Cleanup**
Ensenada, B.C. — As March concluded, marking the end of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month, the city of Ensenada successfully organized a large-scale cleanup operation at Playa Hermosa, located at the mouth of El Gallo Stream. The initiative resulted in the collection of over 900 kilograms of trash, demonstrating the impact a unified community can have on the environment.
Led by Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz, approximately one hundred dedicated volunteers participated in the event. These individuals represented various city departments including Wellness, Education, Youth, Ecology, and Environment, as well as crime prevention and specialized environmental units like Zofemat. Additionally, personnel from the Navy, the Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education (Cicese), local fire services, and councilors Ana Daniela García Salgado and Jorge Eduardo Vega Zamora contributed to the effort.
Beyond garbage collection, the cleanup served as a powerful campaign to emphasize the importance of safeguarding water and natural resources. It motivated local residents to engage in environmental conservation, highlighting that each individual’s actions contribute to a cleaner and healthier community.
Throughout March, the city also organized three “Water Guardians Fairs” in primary schools, aimed at instilling a conservation mindset in young students. This event stood as a testament to what community action can achieve, showing that every piece of trash removed counts toward preserving our beautiful beaches.
