A massive ‘haul’ of nets, ropes and discarded rubbish has been removed from the seabed in the marine protection zone of the Sierra Helada natural park in waters close to Benidorm island.

The action is design to restore ecosystems which have become degraded in the area, according to department head, Salomé Pradas.
