The Mar Menor is unique in Europe, and perhaps the world. Now it is slowly dying, and the marine creatures, such as the sea horses, that live in it are being poisoned, as  are the surrounding beaches. The discharge of polluting products from agriculture, especially nitrates, as well as sewage, industrial discharges, etc., continue to enter this inland sea. Also, the flooding around the Los Alcazares area is getting worse every year, adding to the pollution, and people's homes are being threatened.

The main reason for these disasters is the failure of Authorities and Politicians alike to ensure that the canals and waterways are constructed to prevent flooding, are kept clear and in good repair and that they do not allow pollutants to reach the water's edge.

A group of dedicated individuals are striving to stop this environmental disgrace but despite repeated promises those responsible refuse to act.

We need help. Not money but signatures of support. Please sign this petition and help us protect the environment, and the people who live near to and around the Mar Menor.
