Although the assessment of beach cleaning efficiency evaluation would be desirable for management purposes, the practice is not common. This evaluation is crucial for the safety of beachgoers, conservation efforts aiming to preserve ecological services, and the sustainable development of the oceans. The main goal of this work was to assess the efficiency of the beach cleaning method adopted in a Southwestern Atlantic beach, and assess the richness, abundance, and composition of anthropogenic debris in areas of the beach with kiosks or without them. 5,584 debris items distributed in 22 garbage categories were found. Both richness and abundance of debris were higher in the kiosks areas compared to areas with no kiosks, and debris types differed in areas with and with no kiosks. The richness and abundance of debris did not change before and after beach cleaning. Our results highlight the inefficiency of the cleaning operation in the studied beach and point towards an urgent need of change in the cleaning strategy at Camboinhas beach and similarly cleaned beaches to achieve proper beach cleaning.

尽管出于管理目的对海滩清洁效率评估进行评估是可取的，但这种做法并不常见。该评估对于海滩游客的安全、旨在保护生态服务的保护工作以及海洋的可持续发展至关重要。这项工作的主要目标是评估西南大西洋海滩采用的海滩清洁方法的效率，并评估有或没有亭子的海滩区域人为碎片的丰富度、丰度和组成。共发现22个垃圾分类5584件。与没有售货亭的地区相比，售货亭区域的碎片丰富度和丰度更高，有和没有售货亭的区域的碎片类型不同。在海滩清洁前后，碎片的丰富性和丰富性没有变化。我们的结果强调了所研究海滩的清洁操作效率低下，并指出迫切需要改变 Camboinhas 海滩和类似清洁海滩的清洁策略，以实现适当的海滩清洁。
