On Tuesday, the city government of Arraial do Cabo carried out an inspection operation at Praia do Forno, resulting in the removal of nearly four tons of materials being used illegally. This initiative, dubbed 'Operação Praia Limpa,' was focused on organizing public spaces and protecting the environment, particularly the sensitive coastal restinga areas. The operation was coordinated by the Secretary of Environment and Sanitation, with support from various public safety and environmental agencies.

During the operation, teams seized equipment such as chairs, tables, and sun umbrellas that had been left on the sand and in sensitive restinga areas, which is prohibited by municipal regulations due to its adverse effects on the local ecosystem. The practice of leaving such materials in ecologically sensitive places poses risks, not only to the environment but also to public safety and the overall enjoyment of beach spaces for residents and visitors.

The municipality emphasizes the importance of maintaining clean and safe public spaces, ensuring that residents and tourists can enjoy Praia do Forno responsibly. This operation signifies a growing commitment by local authorities to enforce environmental regulations and to preserve the natural beauty of the area for future generations, which underscores the critical balance between tourism and environmental sustainability in popular destinations like Arraial do Cabo.
