Dominican republic Environment Ministry cleans El Cayo beach

The Provincial Directorate of the Environment in Barahona completed a cleanup of El Cayo beach in the Dominican Republic.

Workers removed construction materials, rubble, and other waste that people had dumped in the coastal area. Provincial director Orquídea González Vallejo coordinated the operation to restore the beach. The ministry started the cleanup earlier but paused the work due to rain before resuming once the weather improved.

The ministry warned that it will enforce environmental laws against those who dump waste illegally. Officials also asked local residents and visitors to dispose of their trash properly to protect the natural areas of Barahona.
