In the morning of this Tuesday the work of the team of ecological recovery of protected natural species of the Mar Menor began, a service of monitoring, maintenance and integral cleaning in this environment in which it has been used to 12 troops over 55 years and whose Tasks will be combined with those of a 'clean' boat.
The mayor of Cartagena, José López, and the Minister of Agriculture and Environment of the Autonomous Community, Adela Martínez-Cachá, and the Councilor for Decentralization, Juan Pedro Torralba, have come to the Punta Brava area in Los Urrutias to To present this brigade, as well as its functions and to advance the forecasts that have from both institutions in this respect.
According to both have explained, these works will be carried out in following the indications established by the technicians of the Ministry, Professor Pérez Ruzafa and the multidisciplinary team of the University of Murcia.
Thus, "in a manual way" and "meticulous," Martinez-Cachá said, "we are going to proceed to the removal of both dry ones that left stagnant water and organic matter that makes it difficult to enter the water "In order to get this area as it was initially wanted to remain.
What is sought is not only the ecological recovery of protected areas but also the beaches of the Mar Menor, which begins with the area of ​​Los Urrutias but these tasks will continue throughout the environment.
It should be noted that, based on the recommendations of the experts, it was not wanted that from the end of March there would be heavy machinery there.
In the same line was pronounced the mayor of Cartagena stating that "there are especially sensitive areas, such as this, that need to be cleaned by hand," while expressing the commitment of the municipal executive to collaborate in this facet.
"From the City of Cartagena we are going to get involved, through the cleaning company or with our own means, because we have to acquire machinery that is not heavy, that is, quads and small tractors, to help transport" what they are taking out The employees of this brigade in a way that does not spoil the sand of the beach.
For this reason, López has taken advantage of to request help to the Ministry to acquire this material that would not only be for this specific zone but would also be destined to all the surroundings of the Mar Menor.
However, he has shown little optimism regarding obtaining Costas aid.
"The evolution is favorable, with the maximum of prudence. We have to remain aware that nitrates can not enter the lagoon," said the counselor in relation to water quality.
Likewise, Martinez-Cachá has warned that we must continue to monitor this facet "and be very attentive" because with the advent of high temperatures, "which accelerates metabolic processes," would enter into "a situation where we must be Even more pending, "since nitrates and phosphates do not want to enter so that the color of the water does not change," which is now clear water. "
López, meanwhile, has commented that there is now a smaller discharge of brines from the Rambla del Albujón, although he has acknowledged that "the problem of nitrate and fostates contributions in the water table remains" and what reaches the Mar Menor Continues to do so with nitrates and phosphates, so he has stated that he is waiting, pending the results of the work of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) and the Tomás Ferro Foundation regarding the elimination of nitrates in irrigation waters and also Of the rest of investigations of other scholars, to find remedy to this problematic.
"This year is not going to be the lagoon as we want everyone who is, sure that next year will be better if we continue like this," the first mayor advanced.
