**Over 900 Kilos of Trash Collected During Ensenada Beach Cleanup**
Ensenada, B.C. – Wrapping up March’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month with a significant initiative, the city organized an extensive cleanup of Playa Hermosa, located at the El Gallo stream’s mouth. This impressive effort led to the collection of over 900 kilograms of trash, showcasing the immense impact of community collaboration.
Under the leadership of Mayor Claudia Agatón Muñiz, nearly a hundred dedicated volunteers joined forces. Participants included individuals from various city departments such as Wellness, Education, Youth, Ecology, and Environment, as well as from crime prevention units and specialized environmental organizations like Zofemat. Support also came from the Navy, the Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education (Cicese), local fire services, and celebrated councilors Ana Daniela García Salgado and Jorge Eduardo Vega Zamora.
The event highlighted more than just trash collection; it served as a poignant reminder of the crucial need to protect our water and environmental resources. The act of coming together demonstrated that everyone has a role to play in sustaining a cleaner, healthier ecosystem.
Moreover, throughout the month, the city conducted three “Water Guardians Fairs” in local elementary schools, emphasizing conservation awareness among young students. This community initiative underscored the importance of even the smallest contributions towards a cleaner environment and encouraged continued participation to maintain the area’s natural beauty.
