CYPRadar 🇨🇾🌊 Large quantities of shredded plastic waste wash up on Paphos beaches
Large amounts of shredded plastic of unknown origin have washed up on beaches in Paphos, causing significant disruption to swimmers and raising environmental concerns. The presence of this plastic debris has led to unease among locals and visitors alike, highlighting the urgent need for intervention.
Acting Paphos mayor Angelos Onisiforou has scheduled an expanded emergency meeting for Tuesday to investigate the source of the plastic waste and determine appropriate response measures. Authorities aim to understand the extent of the pollution and mitigate its impact on the coastal environment.
Similar incidents involving plastic debris have been reported on other beaches in neighboring municipalities, suggesting a broader regional issue that requires coordinated action to protect the marine ecosystem and local tourism industries.
