The underwater cleanup operation took place on Sunday, September 24th, resulting in the collection of 100 kilos of garbage, including abandoned fishing gear.
In the action promoted by the Oceano Azul Foundation in collaboration with the Tavira City Council, three members of the local Tavira Maritime Police Command were present, ensuring the safety of the five divers who voluntarily helped remove the underwater waste.
