The research sought to quantify and classify these materials in a specific area of the beach, using transects along 170 meters after low tide. The main objective is to raise awareness about the negative impacts of this pollution on the coastal environment, emphasizing the urgent need for awareness and preservation measures to protect this essential ecosystem
