Some bathers criticise, through a publication on Facebook, the environmental “attack” that occurs in Praia dos Reis Magos.

“A real attack on the environment under our nose …

These videos were made last night at Praia dos Reis Magos, one of the best diving spots simply to be devastated, instead of algae, sea horses and frogfish we find wipes, diapers and all kinds of garbage … “, can be read in the publication.

This is a problem that has been going on for years and disgusting the the Câmara of Santa Cruz and the governments don’t sort this out.

    This is disgusting, can we as your blog followers forward it

    to you and your website ?

  3. Pollution.
    Hi,
    I have mentioned the sea pollution several times, only to be I don’t know what I am talking about.
    With tourism at a all time low and many hotels still shut, why are we still seeing pollution in the sea, they can’t say the system can’t cope. Also little or no rain till last week, so can’t use that excuse!!!
    It’s realy unacceptable, I will not swim in these waters now.
    My Portuguese friend swims daily and comments about the pollution.
    Earth Environment published this article.
    Scientists on Madeira see new ‘plasticrust’ sea pollution 25 june 2019.
    It’s no wonder the average Portuguese person smokes and discards the cigarettes onto the floor, only to find there way into the road grate and to the sea.
    Some countries have a mesh sock on exit of pipes to sea.
    But Funchal just chooses to do nothing, sorry, they are putting signs up and painting the grate to tell people there debris goes to the sea.
    Not been active enough I don’t think.
    Hand out fines for those littering and do something about this massive problem.
    Tourism would stop, if the people knew how bad the waters are.
    Nothing is been done to prevent the pollution.
    I am sure the Camera and entertainment department knows, but choose to do nothing.
    We eat the produce of the ocean, but what are we eating?
    Carcinogenic material eating by micro organisms and then the fish.
    What’s the long term effect on us at the end of the food chain.

  4. Hi Tobi, we were told that the building site there was something to do with sewage/water but nothing seemed to be happening there. Locals dive for lampas there as well as swim?

  5. Unfortunately you do not see these images in the travel brochures. So the tourists think all is ok.
