Goal
"Once destroyed, the beauty of nature cannot be bought at any price."
The bay of Corralejo on the island of Fuerteventura has long been recognised for its unique marine environment and perfect conditions for water sports.
The uniqueness of the bay holds a lot of value, not only contributing to the quality of life for people living on the island, but also attracting visitors from all over the world, helping sustainable growth of the local economy.
A planned construction of a large industrial dock will have fatal consequences for the life and ecosystem in the bay and the surrounding areas. The habour expansion is unnecessary and disproportionate and will cause irreversible environmental impacts on the seabed, currents, waves, and natural habitat of protected species.
We at Clean Ocean Project have been campaigning agains the harbour expansion and helped create more visibility and communication around what normally happens behind closed doors. The harbour project has been planned to be funded with public money, yet the public has not been asked or involved in any decisions. Besides lack of transparency and use of public funds, the harbour project also goes against the ground values of Fuerteventura as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO where sustainable development and the protection of biodiversity should be the main motives for the future of the island.
After 2 years with protest and campaigns on a local level the next steps required to put an end to this construction requires your help. We are now searching funds to cover the costs of lawyers and legal fees that can take this battle to a new level and hold people involved accountable for illegal actions. Anything helps, spread the word and please help us reach our goal so we can SAVE THE BAY of Corralejo.
Another way to help is by signing our petition. Signatures will help us put pressure on decision makers and show that the general public is not in favour of this project.
“Una vez destruida, la belleza de la naturaleza no se puede comprar a ningún precio”.
Miles de iniciativas en defensa de la naturaleza se han logrado en todo el mundo gracias al crowfunding, y ahora, especialmente ahora y tras dos años de intenso trabajo, necesitamos tu ayuda para evitar la construcción del puerto industrial de Corralejo en la isla de Fuerteventura, en las Islas Canarias.
Necesitamos apoyo económico para financiar acciones legales con abogados y expertos para ganar esta lucha en Canarias, en el Ministerio de Transición Ecológica de España y en la Unión Europea. Tenemos todos los argumentos para frenar esta infraestructura especulativa, innecesaria y muy dañina para el medio natural y, entre todas las personas que deseen colaborar, podemos conseguirlo en los próximos meses.
Pequeños gestos de miles de personas pueden cambiar las decisiones de gobiernos y empresas que solo buscan beneficio económico o político imponiendo un anticuado modelo desarrollista y muy perjudicial para el medio ambiente.
No vamos a permitir este desastre en Fuerteventura, vamos a seguir luchando con toda nuestra energía, con todas nuestras fuerzas y con todo el apoyo internacional obtenido hasta hoy.
Con tu ayuda podemos conseguirlo. Muchas gracias!!!
