“It’s getting out of control.”

Moreover, with the bottles, Leftover plastics, packaging and all types of waste also end up in the sand which accumulate on the shore after each episode of bad weather. A visible and persistent contamination which has not gone unnoticed and which continues to be reported through social networks.

This is the deplorable state in which the beaches of Doñana are found

“We’re still here, on the beaches of Doñana, and I’m going to show you… You’ve already seen it, but oh well. I’ve been walking for almost an hour, what I saw is crazy“, and I have not yet reached point zero”, begins by warning this environmental activist, before fully entering into the situation, while continuing to show such a panorama. » Here, the Almonte Town Hall is doing what it can. I am very aware of this. But we also need businesses, groups, citizens lend a helping hand. Because it’s getting completely out of control. No single public administration can support this. And even less the Almonte City Hall. The Board, MITECO, should be there… Anyway“he laments.

The state of Doñana’s beaches, full of drug trafficking bottles, never ceases to amaze. And, far from being a simple visual issue, this accumulation of waste represents a real threat to the fragile natural balance of Doñana. Environmental organizations warn that leftovers abandoned on the coast (hard plastics, damaged drums and traces of hydrocarbons) contaminate the sand and become a constant danger for wildlife. Birds, insects and small animals can be trapped or poisoned, while the impact extends to terrestrial and marine environments.
