The Councilor of Municipal Services Area, Juan Pedro Torralba, attended Tuesday the presentation of the project by which three access points for recreational boats on the beaches of Los Urrutias, Islas Minores and Playa Honda, will be installed. also attended by the head of the Demarcation of Coasts, Francisco Marín, the Minister of Development, Pedro Rivera, and the presidents of the federations of sailing, canoeing and motorboat.
This action responds to the demands of the City of Cartagena to fight both against the seasonality suffered by the Mar Menor, since recreational boats can access at various points of the lagoon throughout the year, as against illegal anchorages.
"For us it was an important need because it helps to alleviate the seasonality suffered by the entrepreneurs and residents of the Mar Menor since they will have visitors throughout the year and also encourages sustainable tourism by increasing the pressure against illegal moorings and the consequent spills to our lagoon salty ", has indicated the mayor Juan Pedro Torralba.
The project, which will install ramps on the three beaches mentioned, aims to promote responsible navigation and make compatible the use of recreational boats with environmental values, with an investment of 161,000 euros.
In most points the accesses will be perpendicular to the coast, in order to occupy the minimum area of ​​land, with a maximum width of six meters and a variable length that will depend on the needs of each area.
The ramps will be composed of two sections of different material, they will be removable, they will be joined to each other by stainless steel rings and will reach the areas where uncooled sand exists and which could hinder the entry of vehicles.
The first section will be extruded plastic material recycled, partly submerged on the seabed to reach 0.5 meters depth, and the second will be an articulated walkway of prefabricated concrete.
