SERVICES ARE REINFORCED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SUMMER

The town (Mazarrón) has recovered cleaning machines for the beach sand!

The Department of Urban Public Services Management is making a major effort this summer to return normalcy to the streets and beaches of the municipality as far as cleaning and garbage collection is concerned. In this regard, it has re-instated cleaning beaches every day, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. In addition, the council has recovered the machines that comb and clean sandy beaches, that have not been in use for the last 2 years. It has also designed a new plan of work for every day the garbage is collected in all municipalities. In areas where there is a more concentrate mass of residents collections may be even twice in one day. Specifically, it has paid special attention to areas of the Port and Bay for being two areas they see their population increased with the arrival of summer.

As Mazarrón core emphasis is being placed on improving the status of wide avenues, with washdown streets and washing garbage containers as it is more than 4 years since they were cleansed. In addition, the town will install soon about 60 containers that have been recently acquired by the municipality to stop the residents having to deposit their rubbish outside the containers.

Services will also conduct an awareness campaign for residents to take out the rubbish at the correct times, it is recommended starting at 9 pm. This campaign will be the prelude to an operation that will be launched to punish citizens who do not follow these rules. Councillor of the area, Juan Miguel Muñoz, has warned that "the police will act forcefully."

So You Think You Can Drive!

Oval /Short Circuit racing is coming to Spain, courtesy of Velocity Racing & Circuito Cartagena - that’s official. For those of you that didn’t spend your teenage years at circuits like Bovingdon, Wimbledon & the occasional visit to Ipswich, then let me give you a bit of an insight into this.
Oval/Short Circuit Racing is motor sport performed within a flat circuit of up to 500m in circumference, which differs from a road course in that it turns in one direction only and as the turns are all very fast, standard road tyres would not last long with the extreme pressures forced on them. Oval Circuits can vary dramatically in length & physical layout and therefore each track presents its own unique challenges & demands on the driver. Different forms of Oval Circuit Racing have been around almost as long as there have been cars to race, as this was & still is, the simplest form of motorsport. Many categories of vehicle have been used from the monster NASCAR V8’s of the States to the very British mini-stocks. Here on the Costa Cálida Velocity Racing intend to bring a range of formulas, including 1300 Stock Cars, 2.0 Hot Rods, Lightning Rods, Junior Rods, Rookie Rods, & National Hot Rods to Cartagena. If you are anything like me, then this is the ‘real’ racing because ‘trading paint’ & ‘rubbing’ is just racing but without the very high speeds & without the likelihood of serious accidents. The guys from Velocity Racing will be holding a drivers meeting on 7th August 2011 at 7.00pm, at the Meroil Garage on the Cv913 off the Ap7 Junction 733 towards Callosa de Segura, with details of the circuit & a list of meeting dates. Whether it’s to register your interest in driving by signing up on the day, talk to the guys at Velocity Racing about the formulas, rules & regulations, setting up your own car, or to just have a look at what it’s all about, then be there on the 7th August as everyone is welcome.

THE CITY IS MADE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR OCEANOGRAPHIC CENTER RESEARCH

The Research Center has launched into the sea the firstborn of bluefin tuna larvae

Murcia Oceanographic Centre, part of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, still immersed in its research on captive breeding of bluefin tuna. In fact, the Centre has started to send to sea the first offspring of larvae of this species, after it has managed to breed in captivity around 20,000 bluefin tuna larvae naturally and from 30 adult specimens. They have already been launched into the waters of the Bay of Mazarrón more than 1,000 of these juveniles.


This was announced by the center's director, Jose Maria Bello, who on Tuesday morning, received by the researcher Alicia Garcia, the mayor of Mazarrón, Ginés Campillo, the Councillor for Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, Magdalena Mendez and the councilman of Youth, Sports, Finance and Municipal Levy, Andrew James. Bellido and Garcia released to local authorities the facilities of the Experimental Plant of Marine Cultures de Mazarrón where they explained the details of the farming of bluefin tuna and other species such as bream or sea bass.


Campillo, who highlighted the great efforts of the Center on aquaculture research showed interest in these investigations and Bellido and Garcia offered the full support of City Hall so they can continue to carry out further studies to report further success in of R & D. Bellido said "it is very important for us to be embedded in the social life of the towns where we are, and we are very proud to be in Mazarrón and receive visits from schools and citizens."


Regarding the bluefin tuna farming, the center director said that "these investigations are very innovative and each year they get new achievements". This year we do a release in the cages of many more copies, which are larger and better conditions. " The next step is that these individuals can come to breed in captivity, which would close the cycle and a milestone in aquaculture.


The Center is also developing new vaccines, through genetics, for species such as bass and bream "which are acheiving very good progress." In addition to working with new species such as dentex verrugato or to find out "if you can grow them. We have many challenges, but it is important that we move forward. "
