This clean-up included a number of "game-like" activities that served to emphasise the environmental problem posed by the improper disposal of waste that ends up in the oceans. The participants were asked to find different plastic objects, ranging from toys to sanitary equipment, and in just a few seconds several volunteers had already collected multiple objects, most of which were small in size. In this way they were able to see first-hand how plastic dominates the waste and how it degrades into small fragments, even microplastics, which are imperceptible to marine animals.

In total, the volunteers managed to collect and remove about two tonnes of rubbish from the beach, and as usual, among the predominant materials were plastic objects: plastic bags and plastic bottles, objects that are estimated to take more than 100 years to degrade.
