The Mancomunidad association of town halls on the Axarquía-eastern Costa del Sol has launched its surface water cleaning service for the summer season.

Ten ... boats will patrol the coastline of Vélez-Málaga, Algarrobo, Torrox and Nerja to remove floating debris, organic matter, jellyfish, seaweed, dead fish and any oil.

The service will operate until 15 September in the mornings and afternoons. The Mancomunidad has awarded the four-year contract to Servimar Axarquía for just over 1.5 million euros, including VAT, thereby ensuring the continuity of the service over several summer seasons.
