On Saturday 24 October we are getting back in the water. Marina Palam\u00f3s is holding a new Neteja del fons del port<\/em>, our second seabed clean-up of 2026, organised together with H2O Diving Center, Projecte Silmar and Ocean4You. We meet at 9:00 am at H2O Diving Center, inside the marina.<\/p>\n

What ends up in the sea does not disappear: it sinks. Bottles, packaging, ropes, nets, tyres and batteries settle on the bottom, out of sight of anyone walking along the quay, and stay there for decades. Over time, plastics break down into ever smaller particles that enter the food chain, and lost fishing gear keeps trapping marine life long after it has been abandoned.<\/p>\n

A harbour is a busy place and, for that very reason, somewhere this build-up never stops. One clean-up a year is not enough. Repeating it in spring and autumn lets us remove what the high season leaves behind, see how the seabed changes from one edition to the next and work in Cala Morro del Vedell, right next to the marina, as well.<\/p>\n

There is a second reason, less visible and just as important. Anyone who has pulled a tyre or a tangle of fishing line out of the water with their own hands never looks at the sea in the same way again. Each clean-up brings together divers, volunteers, clubs and companies who then carry that message home.<\/p>\n
