Destruction at all costs

Greenpeace España has presented a decalogue of urgent measures to be applied by the Ministry of Environment and the Autonomous Communities, to preserve the coastal areas and to improve as best possible the present situation. This decalogue of measures arises from the report "Destruction at all costs" in which the ecological organisation denounces the brutal pressure on the Spanish coast by the buildings and contamination.

Greenpeace demands, amongst other measures, the establishment of moratoriums in construction or extension of any infrastructures on the coastline, until the Spanish coast has been defined, and the preservation of all those natural areas of singular biological, geological or cultural interest that are not protected at present by any legislation.
