Authorities in a Spanish coastal resort have apologised after spraying a
beach with bleach in an attempt to protect children from coronavirus.

西班牙海岸管理局為「直接朝海灘噴灑漂白水」一事道歉，宣稱是為了保護兒童免受冠狀
病毒的感染。

Zahara de los Atunes, near Cadiz, used tractors to spray more than 2km (1.2
miles) of beach with a bleach solution a day before Spain allowed children
out of lockdown for the first time.

在 Cadiz 附近的 Zahara de los Atunes，在西班牙首次允許兒童於封城期間出門的前夕
，使用大型機具朝 2 公里長的海灘噴灑漂白水。

Environmentalists say the move caused "brutal damage" to the local ecosystem.

環保人士指出，此舉對當地的生態系統造成了「殘暴的破壞」。

measures and return to a "new normality" by the end of June.

當局最近宣布了一項分成四個階段的計劃，逐漸鬆綁原本嚴格的封城措施，預計在 6 月
底恢復到「新的日常（new normality）」。

María Dolores Iglesias, who heads an environmental volunteer group in the
Cadiz region, said she had visited the beach at Zahara de los Atunes and seen
the damage for herself.

Cadiz 地區的環保志工小組負責人 María Dolores Iglesias 說，她去看了一下
Zahara de los Atunes 的海灘，親眼目睹了整塊地遭受的破壞。

She said the bleach "killed everything on the ground, nothing is seen, not
even insects".

她說，漂白水「殺死了地面上所有東西，什麼東西都找不到了，甚至是一隻蟲也沒有。」

The beach and its dunes are protected breeding and nesting places for
migratory birds and Ms Iglesias said she had seen at least one nest with eggs
destroyed by the tractors.

Iglesias 女士說，海灘及沙丘不但保護了候鳥，也提供了一個築巢的地方；她至少看到
其中一個巢穴，裡面有被大型機具摧毀的鳥蛋。

"Bleach is used as a very powerful disinfectant, it is logical that it be
used to disinfect streets and asphalt, but here the damage has been brutal,"
she told Spanish media.

她對西班牙媒體說「漂白水是一種非常強的消毒劑，把它用在對街道和柏油的消毒沒什麼
問題，但在這裡造成的破壞是慘無人道的。」

Ms Iglesias said that because of the lockdown, wildlife had been thriving on
the beach.

Iglesias 女士說，因為封城的關係，在海灘上的野生生物看起來活比以前還好。

"The beach has its own way of cleaning itself, it was not necessary," she
said.

她說「海灘有自己的一套清潔方式，人為介入是沒有必要的。」

"They do not think that this is a living ecosystem, but a lot of land."

「政府當局認為這不是一個活著的生態系統，而是很大片的一塊地而已。」

Local official Agustín Conejo admitted it was "a wrong move".

當地官員 Agustín Conejo 已經承認，這是「一個錯誤的舉動」。

"I admit that it was a mistake, it was done with the best intention," he said.

他說：「我承認我們犯了一個錯誤，儘管這是出於好的動機。」

sea after six weeks in confinement.


authority for its action, El Pais newspaper reports.

據《El Pais》報導，Andalusian 地方政府目前正在考慮對這次的行動進行懲處。

Greenpeace in Spain drew a comparison with controversial statements by US
President Donald Trump, who suggested that injecting patients with
disinfectant might help treat coronavirus.

西班牙的綠色和平組織將這件事和川普爭議性言論進行了比較，因為後者曾經表示「向患
者直接注射消毒劑可能有助於治療冠狀病毒」。

"Fumigating beaches in the middle of the breeding season for birds or the
development of the invertebrate network that will support coastal fishing...
is not one of Trump's ideas. It is happening in Zahara de los Atunes," it
tweeted.

該組織在推特上寫道：「在鳥類繁殖季節、或是其他無脊椎動物生長的時候『熏昏』以保
護沿海的魚類...這不是川普的其中一個想法。但這實際發生在 Zahara de los Atunes」
