The port of Nice, its sun and its emblematic peaks.

But under the hull of these boats, “tons of waste”.

Two to be exact.

In any case, this is what divers picked up on Saturday March 26, in one morning, during a cleaning operation organized by the CCI, the Bleu gorgone and Anao associations and the seagull club.

“Handguns” found in the port

According to

Nice-Matin

, a supermarket trolley, tires, a Swiss license plate (without the car) and many glass and plastic bottles were, among other things, taken out of the water.

Unusual objects to say the least which were then exhibited on the port "to touch the world and try to change consciences", as Sandra Banctel, co-founder of Bleu gorgone, told the local daily.

This waste was then sorted and recycled, when possible.

During other collections in the port of Nice, a diver admits having already found "a lot of handguns thrown overboard" but also "dentures".
