The Ibiza Local Police reported through its social networks about the discovery of submerged batteries in front of the Ses Figueretes breakwater, a fact that highlights the environmental impact caused by irresponsible behavior. The rapid intervention of the Special Group of Underwater Activities (GEAS) of the Civil Guard allowed the removal of this dangerous waste from the sea, avoiding possible damage to the marine ecosystem. The discovery was made thanks to the action of a citizen who, after detecting the batteries at the bottom of the sea, went to the Local Police to report the situation. The quick coordination between the municipal agents and the GEAS of the Civil Guard was the key to resolve the incident efficiently. The Local Police highlighted the importance of citizen collaboration in these cases and publicly thanked the neighbor who gave the alert, describing his action as exemplary.
Hazardous waste at sea: a serious problem
Batteries, considered highly polluting waste, represent a serious threat to marine fauna and flora. In addition, their degradation releases harmful chemical substances that affect water quality and the balance of the ecosystem. For this reason, local authorities are calling to reinforce environmental responsibility and avoid acts such as that of the person who threw this waste into the sea.
The Local Police did not hesitate to point out the person responsible for this act with a forceful message: “0 for the uncivic citizen who deposited such dangerous waste in the sea”.
Recognition of teamwork
In contrast to the criticism of the person responsible for the spill, the Ibiza Local Police expressed their gratitude to both the citizen who reported the incident and the GEAS agents for their quick and effective action. “A 10 for the citizen who alerted us. A 10 for the Guardia Civil colleagues who removed them. Working as a team, we are better,” they concluded in their statement. This case highlights the importance of collaboration between citizens and security forces to protect the natural environment of the island, remembering that preserving the beauty and balance of the waters of Ibiza is everyone’s responsibility.
