Beaches (1-6)

Let’s preserve the beaches 2/2

3. Black Tides
Ecological disasters caused by black tides are unfortunately too well known for us to dwell on them here for a long time. Beaches and their ecosystem are in fact also victims of this.

4. Sewage water
Even now, a number of countries continue to discharge their sewage water directly into the sea. This polluted water is produced by industry, human needs (toilets, hygiene, etc.) and all types of activities (Agriculture discharges, etc.); they prevent or should prevent swimming on numerous beaches throughout the world, because the health of people is also at risk.

Fauna and flora suffer from pollution of beaches

In short :

Degradation and pollution affecting beaches have an immediately noticeable aesthetic impact, but by far not the most serious, as human beings and fauna and flora are also in danger.

Assisted by courageous and remarkably enthusiastic volunteers, numerous associations have devoted themselves to fighting for the protection of beaches, but they lack resources.

It is important for each and every one of us to lead public awareness campaigns by carrying out simple eco-friendly gestures and using our good sense, we can be involved in protecting the coast and thus the marine environment.

Let us never forget that the sea covers more than 70% of the surface of our planet and that the state of its health depends on us
