The event designed ad hoc for this category is Plastic Socks Busters, an initiative in which tourists and tour operators (hoteliers, bathing establishments, campsites, tourist villages, etc.) will be invited to participate in a special "treasure hunt" during the beach cleaning activity with the aim of collecting the largest number of socks used for mussel farming.
