Large-Scale Pollution on IJmuiden Beach

Our sea and weather are unpredictable. But nature should not be left to pay the price...

A week after the canceled Multigroove festival at the beach of IJmuiden, there is still a significant amount of material left behind: tarps, fencing, and other festival waste. Wind and water will quickly break this down, spreading it into our dunes and sea. And this causes serious consequences for animals and nature...

👉 We are calling on the Municipality of Velsen and the Multigroove organization to take responsibility together and ensure the beach is cleaned up and made safe as soon as possible.

As Surfrider Foundation Netherlands, we are always ready to help think of solutions and provide support. Because together, we can protect our beaches and seas. 🌍💪💙 🌊
