Following the end of the coronavirus preventative measures, many citizens and expats have been going to the beach, or boating out at sea, an informed source revealed to Al-Qabas. However, inspection teams, affiliated with the Environment Public Authority, began their campaigns on beaches to handle reports of waste dumping and other violations or other environmental violations.
The authority receives daily reports of garbage being dumped continuously on the beaches, and some of them were dealt with. The last of which was in Abu Al-Hasaniya Beach, where beach goers were educated through the judicial police and the environmental police on the importance of preserving the cleanliness of the place without throwing waste.
According to the environmental law, people who wantonly throw waste on the beaches may fall under two environmental violations of the law, the first of which is throwing waste, which starts with a fine of KD50 dinars and reaches 500 dinars, while the other violator may incur a fine for burning charcoal, barbecuing or using a hookah, the violation of which is estimated at 50 dinars, and it may reach To 200 dinars.
Environmentalists also complain that people abandon food waste, plastics and other materials that are mainly harmful and pollute the land and marine environments. Most beachgoers have a tendency to leave waste after their picnics, which harms the environment, despite the fact that the environmental life of organisms has returned to normal in many areas, and is witnessing an improvement in the emergence of fungal plants and others that had once disappeared over the years.
The environmentalists called for awareness campaigns and support for the efforts of many activists to save the environment and preserve it and its creatures. They urged beach goers to maintain the cleanliness of the place after a picnic or if they use shisha.
