Do not hesitate to ask us questions about the wastes you have found or to write us anything that seems useful for the Ocean Initiatives. Feel free, the best ideas never remain stowed in the drawers.La recogida fue selectiva: en primer lugar, coger los palillos de batea encontrados en 1 hora. Después, me dediqué a coger principalmente pellets, biosoportes, bastoncillos de algodón y palitos de chupachups
