'Essential for Formentera'–President presses Balearic environment chief for solutions

Today Ana Juan, president of the Consell de Formentera, sent a letter to Miquel Mir, Balearic minister of environment, requesting a meeting "to discuss issues that we consider essential for our island". Speaking on behalf of the cabinet, President Juan spoke to an interest in tackling issues like plans to regulate ships anchored on Formentera's coast and patrols to assist anchoring on posidonia. "Summer 2022 is proving once again just how urgent it is to regulate anchorage on our coastline", she asserted. "Saturation isn't just increasingly unsustainable, it's dangerous for our environment. What's more, this year patrols of watercraft anchored on posidonia are less than fully functional".

President Juan also called for improvements at the waste water treatment plant –"local irrigators currently have no way to use treated water for agriculture", she said– and pledged to press for a new campaign to ramp up checks on the pine processionary caterpillar affecting Formentera's pine trees.
