However, the health of these ecosystems is threatened by water pollution, so water clean-up is essential.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPor_que_es_vital_la_salud_del_ecosistema_costero\"><\/span> Why is the health of the coastal ecosystem vital?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The coastal ecosystem is not only home to a diversity of flora and fauna, but also sustains our lives in many ways. It regulates the climate, filters pollutants and protects our coasts from erosion. But when coastal waters are polluted, the health of the coastal ecosystem is at risk.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El_papel_vital_de_la_limpieza_de_aguas\"><\/span> The vital role of water clean-up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Coastal water clean-up is an essential action to maintain the health of the coastal ecosystem. By removing harmful substances, we restore the water to its natural character and properties and, at the same time, help restore the coastal ecosystem.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limpieza_de_aguas_portuarias_y_aguas_interiores\"><\/span> Cleaning of port and inland waters <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is not only coastal waters that need cleaning. The clean-up of harbour waters and inland waters, such as marshes, is also crucial, as they form an integral part of the coastal ecosystem. The accumulation of pollutants in these areas can seriously damage native biodiversity and water quality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Actuaciones_de_emergencia_y_balizamiento_de_playas\"><\/span> Emergency actions and beaconing of beaches <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Timely response in critical situations is also essential to ensure the health of the coastal ecosystem. Emergency actions, such as responding to accidental oil spills, are of utmost importance. In addition, beach marking is another aspect to be taken into account, as it helps to avoid further damage to coastal areas during clean-up activities.<\/p>\n<p>At Ecolmare, we are specialists in water clean-up and the safeguarding of coastal ecosystems.
