Divers clean underwater coastline of Blanes, Costa Brava
More articles on this topic: VisitBlanes.com — Some 40 divers have cleaned up the underwater coastline of Blanes, the Costa Brava seaside resort in the Catalan province of Girona.
The divers, which included members of Spain’s national police, Blane’s local police force, and of the national civil defense and emergency services, cleared wreckages and other garbage resulting from the devastating storm last December.
The storm caused millions of Euros worth of damage along most of the Catalonian coast. In Blanes, the harbor was pounded by record-breaking waves. In the aftermath of the storm, the town’s heavily damaged beaches were strewn with the remains of pleasure crafts, fishing boats and tourist ferries.
Divers also removed iron fences, street signs and other scrap that had washed out to sea around Sa Palomera and S’Abanell. The fences shielded construction work being performed on the boulevard along S’Abanell beach — which had been damaged in previous storms.
Similar cleanup efforts have been — or are scheduled to be — performed along the coastline of other Costa Brava resorts affected by the storm.
