This commitment will be implemented through a removal service that will span four years, with a possible extension, and has a maximum annual budget of 39,878.85 euros (VAT excluded).

The efforts will focus on eliminating this species, first detected in the Strait of Gibraltar in 2015, which has been periodically accumulating on the coast between May and September since 2017. The operation will cover a 335-meter stretch in La Caleta and 417 meters in El Chinarral.

The service will be carried out annually between June and September, structured into two phases: initial shock interventions, scheduled for the first half of June with a maximum duration of four days, and continuous maintenance operations, performed by teams of at least five workers during eight-hour shifts.

The removed algae may remain temporarily on the beach for up to five days to facilitate partial drying before being transported to the authorized landfill of Arcgisa, located in Los Barrios. Landfill fees will be directly covered by the APBA.

In La Caleta, removal will be done manually to protect a paleolithic site. In El Chinarral, partial use of machinery will be allowed for the surface layer, but the rest of the extraction will also be manual to minimize sand loss.

Recently, the Junta de Andalucía declared the situation caused by the massive arrival of this algae as a force majeure and extreme necessity. This measure will allow affected coastal municipalities to benefit from the exemption of the state tax on landfill waste disposal, easing the economic burden of this exceptional environmental phenomenon.
