The first rays of sun caressing your glow every corner of this vast sea, while, the wind pushes her wet lightly and crystalline waters. Some of the dancing waves crash against the cliffs. Others disappear by rubbing the soft, warm sand of the sea. Certainly, before our eyes a panorama filled with peace and absolute quiet. Many vacationers are choosing the beach as her favorite places of retreat and abandonment of stressful city life.

However, these areas of the planet are those who are now suffering the consequences of destructive step of human beings by their harmonious kingdom. The accumulation of waste the discharge of toxic substances into the sea or use of artificial sand in order to attract more tourists to the coast are some of the major obstacles that weigh on the beaches around the world. The human being is one of those most responsible for this situation.

In an attempt to improve the deplorable state of the shoreline, this week the Ministry of Environment of the Junta de Andalucía has completed the environmental education campaigns known as "Caring for the costs "and " Sandpiper " who with the support and participation of about 1,973 students and 120 teachers of 19 schools in the province of Huelva.

These initiatives are aimed to students from an early age learn the importance of conserving the natural environment around them and especially the costs, increasingly affected by the degrading activity of tourists who visit each year without showing any respect for the preservation of their environment.

one hand, the project "Sandpiper" that has brought together about 900 students divided into 19 sections of the coast of Huelva as reported by Europa Press, is a research and study which is held annually in Andalusia to collect data on the presence of residues and substances may be polluting the environment.

For its part, the remaining 1,073 students project "Caring for the coast" this year has included workshops on endangered marine species, such as whales and turtles, recycling, exhibitions, contests, murals and theater, and a previous phase of training for teachers themselves .

All these works have been put into practice by students Huelva and teachers by developing their own activities in school and on the beach.

This kind of campaigns in Andalusia have the principal task to banish the shadow of pollution that hangs over the English coasts, and ultimately, worldwide.

The coastlines are experiencing great changes in recent years that alarmed even to their own coastal communities. Much of the deterioration suffered by the economic engine for many provinces comes not only from the hand of nature but, in particular, man. Without going far building boardwalks or ports without a prior study of the behavior of ocean currents or high rise buildings without analyzing a priori winds are some of the elements contribute significantly to the degradation of coastal . Weather or natural problems are resolved quickly, but not so with the urban beaches manipulated by humans.

As if this were not enough, as indicated in previous lines, in order to attract the attention of tourists to the coast man reinforces his "attractive" no marine sand pouring , which is not previously analyzed for the presence of pollutants . It is vital that the sand meets the minimum quality requirements for the swimmers will be in contact with her for several hours a day.

It is therefore very important to ensure that children, the sector of the population most adept at these spaces, they can play safely. Moreover, the very species that surround those places can be seriously affected by possible non-toxic substances present in the sand analyzed.

This coupled with neglect of some swimmers left forgotten their drinks or cosmetics make the appearance and condition of the shoreline is increasingly bleak.

Initiatives such as that promoted by the Andalusian make our shores can, even minimally, clean fresh air. The smaller the future that will trample the beaches scattered across the planet and in your hands is the treatment they received. Therefore, we must remember that schools and teachers should promote, as it has done in southern Spain, such programs related to achieving coastal conservation.

The beaches are the place is a symbol of rest and retreat to enjoy during the holidays away from the details and chores of everyday life. But each and every one of us must be responsible and respect every corner of the earth we walk on. If we take care of the environment and its costs, maybe the situation will change. For tiny it is the support and respect which we touch and see what can be a considerable improvement dimensions to our Mother Earth and beaches with warm sand kissing the marine world.
