Green flag

The campaign, which will run from June to August, is aimed at both local councils and the hotel and catering trade.

Green Flags assesses the actions implemented in response to the significant increase in glass waste

EL EJIDO Town Council has approved the contract for the supply, installation, maintenance, removal and cleaning of the beacons on the beaches of El Ejido for the sum of €30,000, which this year will increase its area of action in the Balerma area.

The councillor for Finance and Contracting, Jose Francisco Rivera, confirmed: “This is a basic service for the beaches and guarantees the safety of users by delimiting the bathing area from the area set aside for boats.”

“The purpose of the beaconing is to prevent possible accidents.”

In 2023 the beaconing on the Piedra del Moro beach (Balerma straight) will be extended. This extension will consist of the installation of a coastal strip of buoyage over a distance of 2,900 metres, from the ‘Mar Azul’ campsite to the breakwater located at the generation in coastal areas due to summer tourism.

Aspects such as the increase in the volume of selective collection of glass containers in the municipality, the percentage of local hotels and restaurants participating and their collaboration to achieve the objectives are taken into account.

As is the commitment made by the councils to promote the campaign among the hotel and catering industry and to publicise it among the public and visitors.
