Cubes and nets on the breakwaters: the game that worries the beaches of Benicàssim

The practice of catching small marine animals on the breakwaters of Benicàssim's beaches is becoming increasingly common. Children accompanied by their families use buckets, small nets and hand nets to catch crabs, shrimp and small fish among the rocks. After observing the animals for some time, they usually return them to the sea. This activity is common not only in Benicàssim, but also in other coastal tourist municipalities. The article addresses this practice as a growing concern on the region's beaches.
