Today I continue with my ecological cleaning days, for this I visited a beach called: "Praia do cavo da Marinha" which has an extension of approximately 380 meters, despite being very small it is quite crowded by the people who live near it! which greatly increases the rate of contamination, normally after cleaning a beach after five days it is already full of contamination, so the tides have a very important factor in leaving polluting material in the sand! and I think this is good because it cleans itself! Only people like me are missing to collect the buried metals!ππ¨βπ«π²
Hoy continuo con mi jornadas de limpiezas ecologicas, para ello visite una playa llamada: "Praia do cavo da Marinha" que tiene una extension aproximadamente de 380metros, apesar de ser muy pequeΓ±a es bastante concurrida por las personas que viven cerca de ella! lo que aumenta muchisimo la tasa de contaminacion, normalmente luego de limpiar una playa pasado cinco dias ya esta llena de contaminacion, por lo que las mareas tienen un factor bastante importante en dejar material contaminante en la arena! y creo que esto es bueno porque se limpia ella misma! solo faltan personas como yo que recolecten los metales enterrados!π©π§π§
High or low tide?πββοΈπ¨βπ«/Marea alta o baja?π©π
This is a valuable question and over time I have experienced that the ideal tide for metal cleaning on the beach is when the tide is low! In the BahΓa de Sexial, that is, in the place where this beach is located, two high tides and two low tides occur, with the lowest tide being at 11:50 am, then it takes about 6 hours for the high tide to arrive again! therefore in the early hours of the morning is that we must clean! This beach is 11 meters wide at low tide, while at high tide we can only clear about 2.39 meters, it's a big difference! and the great advantage is that when there are changes in the tide, the metals that are floating in the water reach the shore and are buried, therefore they are not returned to the water again and it is here where we take advantage and carry out more efficient work!π€―π€―
Esta es una pregunta valiosa y que con el tiempo yo e experimentado que la marea ideal para hacer limpiezas de metales en la playa es cuando la marea esta baja! en la Bahia de Sexial osea en el sitio donde se encuetra esta playa ocurren dos mareas altas y dos mareas bajas, siendo a las 11,50am la marea mas baja luego demora unas 6 horas en llegar la marea alta nuevamente! por tanto en las primeras horas de la manana es que debemos limpiar! esta playa tiene un ancho de 11metros con la marea baja, mientras con la marea alta solo podemos limpiar unos 2,39metros, es una diferencia muy grande! y la gran ventaja es que cuando hay cambios de marea los metales que estan flotando en el agua llega a la orilla y son enterrados por lo tanto no se devuelven nuevamente al agua y es aqui donde aprovechamos y realizamos un trabajos mas eficiente!π§ ππ©π§€π·ββοΈπββοΈ
Why organize?πββοΈπ¨βπ«/Por que organizarnos?π©π
Like all field work, it is important to organize ourselves and apply ecological techniques! I am a Biologist so taking advantage of my skills is something that brings me better results. My "work methodology today will be to carry out a transect of 395 meters, then divide point 1 and point 2 into two workspaces, at both points I will carry out a metal search of approximately 30 minutes, accounting for all the metals obtained at both points! Today's session will last 1 hour! As you can see the green line indicates the tracking technique used will be in the form of waves so that every space on the beach is used!ππ©π§€
Como todo trabajo de campo es importante organizarnos y aplicar tecnicas ecologicas! soy Biologo asi que aprovechar mis habilidades es algo que me trae mejores resultados mi "metodologia de trabajo hoy sera realizar una transecta de 395metros, luego dividir en dos espacios de trabajo el punto 1 y el punto 2, en ambos puntos realizare una busqueda de metales de aproximadamente 30 minutos, contabilizando todos los metales obtenidos en ambos puntos! la jornada de hoy tendra una duracion de 1hora! como puedes ver la linea verde indica la tecnica de rastreo utilizada sera en forma de ondas asi se aprovecha cada espacio de la playa!π¨βπ«ππ§
Point 1πββοΈπ¨βπ«/Punto 1π©π
My objective of separating the beach into two search points is to be able to compare in which area there are more polluting metals and thus also be able to make an estimate of which area of the beach there are more polluting agents where people walk more? or at the ends of the beach? I think that after a few minutes I had already obtained at point 1 about 3 beer caps, which are undoubtedly the metals that I find the most on the beach, these plates have an alloy of: (tin, steel, carbon) being tin here and steel, one of the most dangerous metals for the ecosystem!π§€π¨βπ«π€―
mi objetivo de separar la playa en dos puntos de busqueda es para poder comparar en que zona hay mas metales contaminantes y a asi poder tambien realizar una estimacion de cual area de la playa hay mas agentes contaminantes donde las personas caminan mas? o en los extremos de la playa? creo que luego de algunos minutos ya habia conseguido en el punto 1 unas 3 chapas de cervezas, que sin duda son los metales que mas encuentro en la playa, estas chapas tienen una aleacion de: (estaΓ±o, acero, carbono) siendo aqui el estaΓ±o y el acero uno de los metales mas peligrosos para el ecosistema!π§ π§ππ
Undoubtedly the most abundant metal on this beach is iron, and here are some explanations! Nearby there are many industries and even some ports, therefore it is very common to find many pieces used for the manufacture of different materials, as well as pieces of iron from pieces abandoned on the shore or washed away by the tide! Normally I get the heaviest iron objects at a depth greater than 8 centimeters, and since they are very heavy they sink and remain buried for years! while you can also get bits or pieces of iron on the surface of the arena within 5 centimeters! the smallest are brought to the sand by the high tide.π§ π€―π¨βπ«
Sin duda el metal mas abundante en esta playa es el hierro, y aqui hay algunas explicaciones! en las proximidades hay muchas industrias y hasta algunos puertos por tanto es muy comun conseguir muchas piezas utilizadas para la fabricacion de distintos materiales asi como tambien pedazos de hierro producto de piezas abandonadas en la orilla o arrastradas por la marea! normalmente los objetos mas pesados de hierro los consigo a una profundidad superior a los 8centimetros, y como son muy pesados se hunden y quedan enterrado por aΓ±os! mientras tambien puede conseguir pedazos o piezas de hierro en la superficie de la arena a menos de 5 centimetros! los mas pequeΓ±os son traidos a la arena por la marea alta.π·ββοΈπββοΈπ©
I think this was the "biggest metal I got today" it's a juice container that we think are made of cardboard but actually they contain polyethylene and aluminum, I think it's to protect the liquid from UV rays, I'm not sure however we must be very careful because aluminum is very dangerous for the ecology of the seas, among the most dangerous effects is the reduction of the population of aquatic animals such as fish and amphibians!π§ π
Creo que este fue el "metal mas grande que consegui hoy" es un envase de jugo que nosotros creemos que estan construidos con carton pero en realidad ellos contienen polietileno y aluminio, creo que es para proteger el liquido de los rayos UV, no estoy seguro sin embargo debemos tener mucho cuidado porque el aluminio es muy peligroso para la ecologia de los mares, entre los efectos mas peligrosos es la reduccion de la poblacion de animales acuaticos como peces y anfibios!π§€π§π
Results point 1πββοΈπ¨βπ«/Resultados punto 1π©π
As you can see on average I got a total of 9 beer caps being the predominant metal occupying a weight of between 5-10 grams, the second is iron occupying a weight of between 11-150 grams the exact measurements I can only quantify at home because in the beach the balance is unstable in the sand! Point 1 spans from the end of the beach to the center.π§ π§€π§
Como puedes ver en promedio consegui un total de 9 chapas de cerveza siendo el metal predominante ocupando un peso de entre 5-10gramos, el segundo es el hierro ocupando un peso de entre 11-150gramos las medidas exactas solo podre cuantificarlas en mi casa porque en la playa la balanza es inestable en la arena! el punto 1 abarca desde el extremo de la playa hasta el centro.π¨βπ«ππ€―
Point 2πββοΈπ¨βπ«/Punto 2π©π
Point 2 corresponds to the rest of the beach and the "critical" point because it is the center of the beach where people generally go the most to walk their pets, walk, do sports, fish, among other activities! This point has an extension of 215 meters, and I think I will get many polluting metals, including an AA batteryπ§π§€π§
El punto 2 corresponde al restante de la playa y el punto "critico" porque es el centro de la playa donde generalmente las personas mas frecuentan para pasear sus mascotas, caminar, actividades deportivas, pescar, entre otras actividades! este punto tiene una extension de 215metros, y creo que conseguire muchos metales contaminantes, incluyendo una bateria AAπ·ββοΈπ§ π§€
It was to be expected as it is the center of the beach to get more strange metals! I get really worried every time I get a lithium battery on the beaches because lithium is too dangerous in the ocean! it causes many genetic problems in fish populations that we in turn eat! a lot of iron, steel, tin, also predominated in point 2.π·ββοΈπ€―
Era de esperarse como es el centro de la playa conseguir metales mas extraΓ±os! me preocupa mucho cada vez que consigo una bateria de litio en las playas porque el litio es demasiado peligroso en el oceano! causa muchos problemas geneticos en las poblaciones de peces que a su vez nosotros ingerimos! mucho hierro, acero, estaΓ±o, tambien predomino en el punto 2.π©πββοΈπ₯

The cleaning of metals in point 2 was a success. I got more than 15 beer caps with an average weight of 16-25 grams, iron was also predominant with more than 200 grams of weight among the most obtained objects were: "nails of iron and steel", here I got two lead weights used to fish, one weighs more than 25 grams.ππ
Fue todo un exito la limpieza de metales en el punto 2 consegui mas de 15 chapas de cervezas con un peso promedio de 16-25 gramos, el hierro tambien fue predominante con mas de 200 gramos de peso entre los objetos mas conseguidos fueron: "clavos de hierro y acero", aqui consegui dos pesos de plomo usados para pescar uno pesa mas de 25gramos.ππ¦Ύ
Results of the day 26/12πββοΈπ¨βπ«/Resultados de la jornada 26/12π©π
Well friends, in total, I managed to throw a total of 783 grams of iron, steel and other alloys from the beach, about 69 grams of steel, tin and finally 167 grams of lead! The sum of all the metals together gave a total of 1,020kg, that is, we managed to throw more than a kilo of metal from the beach! and as I always say now the planet is a kilo cleaner!ππ€©
Bueno amigos en total consegui tirar de la playa un total de 783 gramos de hierro, acero y otras aleaciones, unos 69gramos de acero, estaΓ±o y por ultimo 167gramos en plomo! la sumatoria de todos los metales juntos dio un total de 1,020kg osea conseguimos tirar mas de un kilo de metal de la playa! y como siempre digo ahora el planeta es un kilo mas limpio!π¦Ύπ§ π
To date, since I started this cleaning project, I have managed to remove more than 2 kilos of iron from the beach in two days, including two telephone batteries!π¦Ύπ€©
