Canary Islands: Tourists visiting Lanzarote and Curetavetura in the Canary Islands have now been warned against taking sand and stones from the beaches. It was said that heavy fine will be charged from the passengers doing so. Tourists' habit of collecting souvenirs is having a delicate impact on the condition of the islands. Lanzarote loses a ton of volcanic material to the sea every year.
Fuerteventura's famous Popcorn Beach, on the other hand, loses a ton of sand every month. Officials have become worried due to this and have taken this drastic step. According to a New York Times report, a fee of between 128 pounds (about Rs 13,450) and 2,536 pounds (2,70,000 Indian rupees) is charged for carrying stones or sand from beaches. Of these areas, fines have been imposed. Tourists found carrying popcorn-sized pebbles can be fined heavily.
Tourists carrying popcorn-sized pebbles may be fined heavily, while tourists carrying larger pebbles may be fined heavily. Removal of such materials by tourists disturbs the natural balance of the beach and threatens its existence. But while the authorities are facing a challenging time on this issue, the authorities are also facing another challenge. The accused caught at the airport cannot be punished.
