Marines and municipality collect 1.5 tons of garbage at Playa Miramar

Maritime personnel and local authorities removed 1.5 tons of waste from Playa Miramar as part of a national beach cleaning campaign in Mexico.

As part of the "National Campaign for Cleaning Beaches and Coasts of Mexico," the Second Naval Region personnel and the Guaymas City Council engaged in a clean-up event at Playa Miramar. The initiative showcased the collaboration between military and civilian authorities to address environmental concerns along the coast. This effort resulted in the collection of approximately 1.5 tons of non-biodegradable and contaminating waste.

A total of 35 naval personnel, ranging from admirals to sailors, joined forces with 95 civilians to carry out the cleaning activities. They utilized three official vehicles for the operation, underlining the logistical efforts involved in such environmental initiatives. The collected waste was subsequently transported to the municipal landfill, emphasizing the importance of proper waste management in keeping the beaches clean and safe for public use.

In addition to the beach clean-up, the article mentions another community engagement initiative known as "Operation Pez Vela," where elements of the Sixth Naval Region participated in the "Fair for Security and Peace Cuauhtémoc 2026." This event included citizen service modules and technical demonstrations, further illustrating the navy's involvement in fostering community relations and promoting security efforts in local areas. Such initiatives not only enhance the public's awareness of environmental preservation but also strengthen the bond between the military and the communities they serve.
