These photos were taken last summer, in the area known as White Rocks behind the water amusement park. They show an effluent flowing from the water park straight down to the sea. This runoff was no little stream of crystal clear water meeting the Mediterranean Sea. It appeared to contain some kind of foamy waste which could be seen floating on the surface. All sort of drainage should be filtered before letting it out to sea. Polluting the sea harms marine organisms and leads to destruction of whole ecosystems. If we don’t take any note of sea pollution the problem will expand and in a few years’ time the damages will be far too big to fix.
My appeal goes to the authorities responsible to eradicate such abuse.
