Volunteers started off the action from Betina’s side where, unfortunately, due to the position and the direction of wind, it could always be found large amounts of, mainly, plastic waste. Volunteers cleared the whole coast of the peninsula and this contributed to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the marine environment and the major pollution problem with plastic waste. They have collected more than twenty waste bags of garbage.
