Monitoring and Cleaning of the Coina Creek, 7 june 2014
A group of nearly 50 people, from ASPEA, ELEVA-te, and Vila do Conde Scouts, took part in the monitoring of the Coina Creek - a small Tagus River sub-effluent, located in the town of Coina (Setúbal district).
While the majority of the group walked along the river bed and banks, cleaning garbage and debris - with support of the municipallity to collect the garbage - two smaller groups monitored two different locations of the creek, to try to check its condition (pollution, biodiversity, etc.).
The groups tried to identify the creek's biodiversity, and also to identify possible pollution sources, and to check the water quality. For this, and to check also for other parameters the "Projecto Rios" kit was used.
