Porto Santo City Council launched the challenge to local entities to carry out a cleaning action with their employees, on a river, pebble, beach or any other area of potential marine litter accumulation until December 2021.

The Army - Porto Santo Detachment participated in this initiative, carrying out a cleaning action on September 30 in Calhau da Serra de Dentro. A total of 12 military were involved, having collected about 25 kg of garbage, of which plastic stands out.

This initiative is associated with the “Porto Santo Sem Lixo Marinho” project co-financed by the EEA Grants Portugal Environment Program, promoted by WWF Portugal, in partnership with AIDGLOBAL, ARM - Águas e Residuos da Madeira, SA, the Municipality of Porto Santo and the Regional Agency for the Development of Research, Technology and Innovation (MARE-Arditi).
