The environmental expert has come to this conclusion after the latest My
Sea expedition surveying the level of pollution of Latvia’s beaches on the
Baltic seacoast. Over the past six years, the level of pollution there has
increased by 20-30%, Ulme said.
Daugavgriva in Riga was found to be the most littered beach with 819 pieces
of trash recorded for every 100 meters there. Abragciems was declared the
cleanest beach this year, with only 20 pieces of trash for every 100 meters
found on this western Latvian beach.
The My Sea campaign is organized annually since 2012 to raise public
awareness of sea pollution issues and the necessity to protect the coastal
environment.
