Friends of Cáster denounce two sources of pollution in the River

The Friends of Cáster denounced two sources of pollution in the Cáster River, in the Urban Park of Ovar. The first source results from polluting discharges that made the water very turbid, with foam stains and an oily appearance on the surface, degrading the ecosystem and compromising aquatic life. The second source is due to the accumulation of cut vegetation debris on the banks and riverbed, which when decomposing reduces the oxygen in the water and can cause eutrophication. The association filed a complaint with the GNR and appealed to the Municipality of Ovar to remove the vegetation waste and ensure adequate training for the workers responsible for maintaining the space.
