In addition, the clean-up and waste collection action aims to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the marine environment.

The council of Sines will host two rounds of the 2024 National Underwater Fishing Championship this weekend. The competition involves underwater fishermen from all over the country, who will gather to demonstrate their skills and catch fish while holding their breath.

In this practice, fishermen venture underwater without breathing apparatus, relying solely on their lung capacity to submerge and catch prey.

Besides the sporting competition, the event will also promote a sea clean-up and waste collection action, emphasising the care for the marine environment. During the initiative, participants will join forces to remove debris and rubbish that threaten marine life and pollute coastal waters.

This activity aims to raise awareness about the preservation of the marine ecosystem and encourage sustainable practices.

The National Spearfishing Championship is a highlight event for the spearfishing community and sports enthusiasts.

With the staging of the events in Sines, the city becomes a hub of reference for this type of activity, promoting the natural resources and beauty of the location. The event also strengthens the local economy, with an increase in tourism, as participants and spectators travel to the region, boosting the hotel and service sectors.
