Overview
- Strong surf concentrated about five tonnes of debris on Tres Picos, Los Delfines and other Miraflores beaches in a single day.
- Crews are removing the trash by hand on rocky shorelines as PNP and Serenazgo enforce access limits in the worst spots.
- Officials say currents carried the waste from other Lima districts and that the swell exposed long‑accumulated pollution.
- The haul included plastic, decades‑old packaging, construction scraps, wood, melamine and animal remains, raising health concerns for beachgoers.
- The Navy’s hydrography office expects the anomalous waves to last through April 30, and the city filed an OEFA complaint and reminded of S/3,870 fines for littering.
