from along the coast
The Club Náutico de Jávea, in
collaboration with the Fundación
Ecomar and Fundación de
Oceanográfico, invited children
from the fifth and sixth grade at
CEIP Port de Xàbia to a special
clean-up day along the coast
of Xàbia. Collecting rubbish in
different point around the port
area of the town, the educational
activity helped the kids to learn
about waste separation to deposit
it into the different containers -
yellow for packaging, green for
glass, blue for paper and cardboard
and grey for organic rubbish.
Guided by staff from the yacht
club and the two foundations, the
schoolchildren and their teachers
covered the area along the harbour
wall to the red lighthouse, the
landing zone alongside the fish
market and the area of the Paseo
Marina Española close to the
mouth of the river Gorgos. They
collected more than 150 kilograms
of rubbish, p lacing it in separate
bags according to the container
into which it was to be thrown.
