Los desechos del mar llegan a ambos lados de la isla. La cara este es sin duda la m\u00e1s afectada, teniendo como tiene el dudoso privilegio de llevarse lo peor de los vientos predominantes del noreste. Estos vientos traen consigo residuos pl\u00e1sticos de todo el Caribe. Aqu\u00ed se encuentran botellas, tapas, cubos, pinzas para el pelo, chanclas, zapatos, botes de champ\u00fa y, a menudo, objetos m\u00e1s grandes, como materiales de construcci\u00f3n y hasta peque\u00f1as embarcaciones.<\/p>\n

En el norte de la isla se ven muchas bebidas embotelladas, algunas con las etiquetas todav\u00eda puestas. As\u00ed sabemos que gran parte de proceden de Hait\u00ed y Jamaica. Estos pa\u00edses, al igual que Caim\u00e1n, cuentan con procedimientos de gesti\u00f3n de residuos que dejan mucho que desear. Cuando hay tormentas, cualquier deshecho de pl\u00e1stico que no est\u00e9 bajo control termina en el mar o en las playas.<\/p>\n

En Seven Mile Beach, la famosa playa de arena coral y mar turquesa tropical, no se ve mucho pl\u00e1stico. Hay dos motivos para ello:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gracias a la forma de la isla, esta zona est\u00e1 protegida de los vientos del este.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Los hoteles y complejos de apartamentos cuentan con personal que despeja las playas todas las ma\u00f1anas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ese aspecto tan cuidado puede llevar a algunos a pensar que el problema no existe. Sin embargo, en otras partes de la costa es evidente. Por eso, es una gran suerte para la isla que Plastic Free Cayman organice la limpieza de las playas.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Los desechos de pl\u00e1stico m\u00e1s habituales de las Islas Caim\u00e1n son los siguientes:<\/h2>\n

    1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Vasos y cubiertos de pl\u00e1stico de los bares<\/h3>\n

    Estos art\u00edculos se desechan todo el tiempo en Seven Mile Beach. Los bares siguen utilizando pl\u00e1stico de un solo uso para cada bebida consumida en la playa. Esto podr\u00eda resolverse si los hoteles, bares y restaurantes pusieran en marcha un sistema de dep\u00f3sito, para utilizar un vaso reutilizable que incluso podr\u00eda estar hecho de pl\u00e1stico de la playa reciclado. Los pedidos de comida para llevar tambi\u00e9n incluyen sus juegos de cubiertos de pl\u00e1stico. Muchos acaban en el mar, y aunque se eliminen a trav\u00e9s de m\u00e9todos m\u00e1s respetuosos, acaban en vertederos, que tampoco son la soluci\u00f3n ideal.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Zapatos, chanclas y otras almas perdidas<\/h3>\n

    No esperaba encontrarme tantos zapatos. \u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1n los due\u00f1os? \u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 el otro zapato? Nunca lo sabremos. Pero lo que s\u00ed sabemos es que flotan hasta que se cubren de organismos vivos (percebes y algas), y una vez que pesan lo suficiente se hunden para a\u00f1adirse a la capa de basura que cubre el fondo del oc\u00e9ano. \u00a1A ver si miramos donde dejamos los zapatos! Mientras sigan acabando en el agua, las corrientes se los llevar\u00e1n hasta playas, como las nuestras de las Caim\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Botellas y tapones<\/h3>\n

    Las botellas de pl\u00e1stico acaban en las playas por muchas razones. Algunas llegan flotando desde otros pa\u00edses, otras son abandonadas por los ba\u00f1istas locales y otras las utilizan los pescadores para localizar a sus presas. Algunos pescadores, cuando pica un tibur\u00f3n, le atan botellas de pl\u00e1stico y vuelven m\u00e1s tarde con los \u00fatiles que necesitan para terminar la captura. A veces se olvidan de su presa y los tiburones luchan por sobrevivir amarrados a esos improvisados flotadores.<\/p>\n

    Los tapones de botella est\u00e1n hechos de pl\u00e1stico m\u00e1s duro que las botellas y por eso se ven muchos m\u00e1s en la orilla. El fino pl\u00e1stico utilizado para fabricar el recipiente se rompe por efecto de las olas, creando toneladas de micropl\u00e1stico t\u00f3xico.<\/p>\n

    4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fragmentos de pl\u00e1stico irreconocibles<\/h3>\n

    El tipo m\u00e1s com\u00fan aqu\u00ed en las Islas Caim\u00e1n. Parte de los residuos viajan muchos kil\u00f3metros antes de acabar en las playas de arena locales. En el trayecto sufren el rigor del sol, los golpes de las olas, y la erosi\u00f3n que los divide en trozos cada vez m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os. A menudo, los peces confunden estos fragmentos con comida. El pl\u00e1stico se atasca en el sistema digestivo y acaba provocando la muerte del animal.<\/p>\n

    No son casos aislados, ahora raro lo raro es encontrar un animal que no haya perecido as\u00ed.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Desechos de la actividad pesquera<\/h3>\n

    Los residuos de la pesca son los m\u00e1s frecuentes en las playas de nuestro Dorset natal. Aqu\u00ed no son tan comunes. El motivo es que en estas aguas hay mucha menos pesca comercial. Los residuos de este tipo suelen ser un sedal y un anzuelo. Incluso as\u00ed, pueden terminar por acumularse. Ll\u00e9vate siempre el material usado a casa y deshazte de \u00e9l como es debido.<\/p>\n

    Los tipos de pl\u00e1stico que vemos en las playas nos muestran al mismo tiempo las maneras m\u00e1s efectivas de evitar su proliferaci\u00f3n. Cuando tengas que hacer una compra, en lugar de dejarte llevar por la costumbre, estudia las alternativas. \u00bfExiste una opci\u00f3n que no deje residuos? El mundo avanza en la direcci\u00f3n correcta, pero queda mucho por hacer. Colabora, piensa antes de actuar y elige bien.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be in the sea all day body-boarding, then playing in the rock pools, marvelling at the wonderful sea creatures! I couldn't seem to get enough!
