A dozen neighbourhood groups and associations joined together to hold the ‘Third March for the Rights of the Mar Menor’ last Saturday. The mobilization started from the old Los Arcos hospital and ended at the Barnuevo esplanade, in Santiago de la Ribera.
The organizers explained that the objective of the demonstration is to demand the implement of necessary measures to reduce the impacts that continue to exist on the Mar Menor, even though some regulatory improvements have been achieved in the last year.
They ask the Regional Government to act according to its responsibilities, and also urge the rest of the administrations to coordinate their actions so that the recovery of the Mar Menor soon becomes a reality and serves as a reference for other ecosystems that are in danger.
The march was attended by groups such as Banderas Negras, Huerta Viva, Pacto por el Mar Menor, SOS Mar Menor and the Federation of Neighbourhood Associations of Cartagena and Comarca, among others.
“ Let’s continue protecting the rights of this lagoon that deserves to stay alive,” they stated in the manifesto.
