The City Council defends fishing in one of the Special Conservation Zones that the Ministry projects

August 20 from 2020 - 13: 48

The Dénia City Council has already prepared the proposal of allegations to the project of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition of declaration of ten areas as Special Conservation Zones, a project that includes Almadrava for its environmental value: a space of more than 2.200 hectares of declared surface LIC / * ZEPA and belonging to the Natura 2000 Network.

Specifically, the point of discrepancy refers to the "prohibition of fishing with small gears that contact the bottom", which the document proposes. In the allegation, to the annex that regulates the uses and activities, the City Council asks that the 'tresmall' continue to be allowed, "Because it is an artisanal activity -promoting different trades and ways of life, as well as heritage and fishing culture- that has a low impact on seagrass meadows and on the habitat to be protected".

On the other hand, regarding the anchoring of boats, the council adds that public moorings will use ecological anchors and places free of vegetation (posidonia) will always be sought for installation.

The City Council does report favorably on the expansion, also included in the project, of the protected area of ​​the Almadrava SCI to 4.615 hectares, to protect 1.000 more oceanic posidonia meadows. And also to the inclusion of the protection of the 'Cymodocea nodosa' meadows and the 'Caretta caretta' (turtle) species and the marine mammals typical of deep or migratory habitats.

The proposal of allegations will be voted in the next Plenary, on Thursday 27, accompanied by a second point: the request to the Department of Culture of the declaration of the 'tresmall' as a Property of Local Relevance.
