The Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism (MINEC) held an inspection day on the beaches of the Caraballeda axis, Tanaguarena, in La Guaira, with the purpose of preventing the inadequate disposal of debris and protecting the region's coastal ecosystem.

After the seismic event that occurred on June 24, the authorities have activated a Special Environmental Monitoring and Control Device along the entire marine-coastal strip of the state of La Guaira, MINEC press reports.

The operation of the device has robust logistics that include more than 20 motorized teams, multipurpose radio patrol units and a drone team (RPAS). The latter carry out constant aerial surveillance along the entire coastal axis to detect and mitigate any type of environmental crime, ensuring compliance with current regulations in critical areas.

The central objective of this operation is to ensure adequate management of the resulting debris and solid waste, avoiding negative environmental impacts and ensuring the protection of coastal ecosystems within the framework of recovery efforts.

The conference was led by the General Directorate for Monitoring and Control of Environmental Impacts of the Ministry for Ecosocialism, organized under the National Committee for the Control and Control of Environmental Impacts.

In addition, 55 officials from a multidisciplinary team that includes the Environmental Nursery of the Bolivarian National Guard, the National Environmental Police, the Park Ranger Corps and the Environmental Crimes Division of the CICPC participate in the operation.

For the proper management of waste, the authorities reported that the final disposal of rubble must be carried out only at two authorized points: the Santa Eduvigis Sanitary Landfill in Catia La Mar, which has 30 hectares, and the Caraballeda Waste Area, with an area of 5 hectares.
