Guía de Isora sebadales being destroyed by Abama hotel's desalination

[Janet]

It's the pipe, it seems, that carries the salt from the hotel's desalination plant ... it broke three years ago and hasn't been fixed. The "volcano of salt" that's being pumped out is therefore not being carried out far enough, and is killing the seagrass area near the coast. This is the area of Tenerife's great hope ... and although I'm not the world's greatest seagrass fan, it seems that the damage won't stop there, and will have repercussions for the general environment of the sea in the area.

The following video shows it happening. HERE's a link to a full article. I'm not putting it on my website. There are limits to how much negativity one can stand ... and it's already out there anyway without the publicity having much effect on the shamelessness of political and administrative consciences.



This is the crux (from the video and then the article): referring to the break in the pipe -

lo sabe el Hotel Abama, pero les cuesta dinero arreglarlo... Lo sabe el Ayuntamiento de Guía de Isora, que no dice nada... Lo saben los Clubes de Buceo, pero temen represalias... Lo saben en Medio Ambiente, pero no quieren problemas... Y ahora lo sabemos algunos más, así que vamos a seguir esperando que todavía quedan fulas".

My god - it isn't even like Abama is short of money to fix it

Ah sod it ...

I concur with posting it.  As we know from the lifeguard saga it takes a long time and a lot of pressure to get something fixed, so every little bit helps.

Guía de Isora Ayuntamiento has commissioned a study from La Laguna University to investigate the leak. The hotel appears to be denying that the evidence in the video is connected with Abama, and there are suggestions that it might take legal action against its authors. JA

Well somethings coming from somewhere!
