Despite efforts to clean up the Mediterranean sea, it is still one of the most polluted oceans on Earth,The Mediterranean Sea is completely enclosed, apart from the 14km-wide Strait of Gibraltar and the 200m-wide Suez Canal, so water cycles very slowly and pollutants tend to accumulate. One third of the world’s shipping passes through the Mediterranean and between them, ships discharge between 100,000 and 150,000 tonnes of crude oil each year. Coastal discharges from industry and cities also result in high concentrations of mercury, cadmium, zinc, lead and untreated sewage. In 2007, a litre of Mediterranean seawater contained 10g of petrochemicals. Recently the Mediterranean has been cleaned up slightly and it is now ‘only’ the third most polluted, behind the Gulf of Mexico and the Baltic Sea. Heil pools, hard work earned me a backyard pool hahaj.
Thing is. Tourists are the majority of the people making these bbqs.
Dirty people = dirty beaches.
The tumor that is tourism. Clean it so that it’s nice for the next batch of tourists coming to give money to caqnu, decesare, portelli etc… whilst ruining the place. Then they can make even more hotels and bring even more tourists for you to pick up after.
Saw bunch of people doing BBQs there
That’s not dirty that’s normal. ansi looks quite clean especially for sliema.
The majority of tourists eat at restaurants. Its more locals who do bbq s. The problem is also lack of dustbins or proper trash bins were people who do bbqs can throw burnt coal into them.
I think you mean dirt people
Tourists or locals, it needs to be cleaned up. It’s pointless for the mayor of Sliema to go around filming people taking a leak on the beach when his own council doesn’t even carry out a weekly clean-up of the beaches.
Even if everybody had the best of intentions, that volume of people on the beach is going to generate some level of dirt. Things fly off before people can catch them, small children just drop things on the floor without their parents realising, stuff gets washed up from the sea and yes, there are also rude people who litter. Whatever the case, local councils need to stop complaining about everything and start doing something themselves about the mess.
In Pieta we’ve been waiting for the council to clean up after a government-made mess for a month now. L-aqwa li nohorgu bl-educational campaigns to make it seem like the authorities are never at fault and “other people” are the problem.
Sliema smells of pee, cheap perfume and lazy days. Not a good place to beach it.
