Do not hesitate to ask us questions about the wastes you have found or to write us anything that seems useful for the Ocean Initiatives. Feel free, the best ideas never remain stowed in the drawers.Overall the beach itself was in rather a good condition. Most of the waste was not visible to an naked eye. The city of Barcelona does frequent cleaning along the beach side. Yet most of the waste was stuck between the rocks near by therefore it is hard to estimate what was the last time anyone truly did a proper clean up there.
