The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has revived and intensified its awareness campaign “Every drop counts” in the port of Mahón this summer, aimed at promoting water conservation among recreational boat users.
This move is part of the APB's commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. It also responds to the growing need to safeguard water resources, especially in places like ports, where activity increases significantly during the summer months.
The campaign targets both mooring permit holders, whether directly or indirectly managed, and visiting boat users who drop into the harbour of Mahón during the summer season.
Key initiatives include the distribution of hose nozzles with automatic shut-off to promote more efficient consumption, as well as information leaflets with the campaign's core message. This material has been handed over to the six marinas in the area: Amarres Poniente, Club Marítimo Mahón, Club Náutico Villacarlos, Marina Menorca, Marina Port Mahon and Mô Llevant.
The campaign will also be rolled out in the Varadero Mô industrial area and at various official offices located in the port, such as the Harbour Master's Office, the Coastal Authority, the Island Council's Tourist Office and the APB's own offices.
The message has been visually reinforced with 30 banners placed on the busiest quays on the south side of the port, reminding both sailors and pedestrians in Mahón and Es Castell that every drop counts.
With this initiative, the APB rekindles its commitment to the environment and invites all port users to actively participate in the conservation of such an essential resource as water.
