In addition to the garbage that is found on the seabed, there is also the one we cannot see, which are microplastics. These are the result of the decomposition of plastic, which remains in the marine environment and which can enter the food chain of many animals.<\/p><p>The solution to this problem mainly involves prevention, that is, applying the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to the maximum, so that our waste does not end up in the sea.<\/p><p>Here at Picos de Aventura, we do our part!
