A year ago, the central government authorized the company Capricon Spain Limited to conduct seismic surveys in the Gulf of Valencia in search of oil.
This would mean that the company would make half a million cannon fire between the peninsula and the Balearic Islands to verify the existence of such deposits in the vicinity of our coast.
Once the project is known, which is now exposed to the public, several NGOs have denounced the consequences that these surveys would have on the environment and that directly affect the Dianense coast. In addition to the possible installation of oil extraction towers that would be seen from Dénia, the explosions would affect native species such as bluefin tuna, hake, red shrimp, sardine and anchovy, affecting ecosystems between 200 and 1.350 meters deep
The environmental impact study is in period for comment, and have not taken rearing voices against these surveys from different areas in the affected areas.
From City of Dénia they are working on what they consider allegations "An atrocity", in the words of the councilor Pepa FontAs they feel that "The hydrocarbon yield that can be found does not compensate for the environmental evil that they will create".
Just this week the Socialist Group has requested to participate in drafting claims to be a municipality Dénia "indirectly affected by the negative effects that the impacts will have on the environment and on the tourist projection of the area", Demanding both the consistory as the Generalitat Valenciana not remain with folded arms and urgently submit claims to the project.
The hotel industry also say NO
The Association of Hotel Entrepreneurs of the Marina Alta, AETHMA, has issued a statement in which they are also against these surveys "for the proximity to the coasts in a geographical situation so linked to tourism and the environment, for the impact on fishing catches, with the consequent deterioration of jobs in primary sectors so important in our region and their importance in gastronomy and the negative influence on the marine environment and the impact on marine fauna and flora. "
From Aethma propose to employers and society in general to use social networks the hashtag # Déniadiceno and # Déniadiuno to show the rejection of this project.
Explanatory talk on the Poster
This afternoon, the fish market will host a Informative talk in which from the Fishermen's Association they will explain what the surveys will consist of and how they will affect the marine ecosystem and the citizens of the region. It will be from the 19: 15 hours and the entry is free.
