Take care of Menorca as if it were your own home<\/span><\/h3>\n

Keeping the beaches clean requires the work of many people, and the collaboration of each individual is essential.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Avoid leaving waste<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is essential that we avoid leaving trash on the sand, on the rocks, or in the sea.<\/p>\n

How? By taking our waste with us off the beach and throwing it into the corresponding paper, glass, or plastic and can containers.<\/p>\n

The presence of bins on the beaches carries a risk we want to avoid: they can be emptied by the wind or other factors and thus become a source of dirt and pollution. And that is exactly what we don’t want!<\/p>\n

You will now find the containers in the parking areas.

Awareness<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nowadays, we are increasingly aware of the environment, and we can find different associations in which you can collaborate, such as Per la mar viva<\/strong><\/a> or the GOB<\/a><\/strong> with its Marilles<\/strong><\/a> program, which watch over the health of the sea regarding plastics, pollution, and selective fishing.<\/p>\n

Micro-looting<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is important not to take sand, stones, etc. from the<\/span> beaches and coves<\/a><\/strong> as a “souvenir”, or<\/span> apply clay or mud to your body, as these micro-looting practices severely erode the ecosystem of these beaches and coves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, these materials may be seized from you at Mah\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong> airport<\/strong><\/a> since they are not allowed in luggage for security reasons; last year, more than a ton was confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n
