DECLARATION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN<\/span><\/h3>\n

UNITE FOR THE RECOVERY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN<\/i><\/h4>\n

Seventy years ago, the Spanish Mediterranean Sea was a very different place from what we see today. It was home to seals, such as the Mediterranean monk seal,<\/em>sea turtles, sharks, and numerous schools of fish that were caught from the beach, along with extensive posidonia fields housing tens of thousands of nacras.<\/p>\n

During that time artisanal fishermen caught huge groupers<\/strong><\/span>, and lobsters were frequent in the shallow waters. Nets were filled with spider crabs in spring, and large branches of red coral, hundreds of years old, were common.<\/p>\n

The Egyptians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, and Romans discovered a rich sea where life was bountiful, with ideal conditions for living, making it the cradle of Western culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Villages that depended on the richness of the shallow waters for food sprouted around the coastal bays. However, today, the marine ecosystems of these environments, the origin of our Mediterranean life, are on the verge of collapse.<\/strong><\/span>The ideal natural conditions of the Mediterranean have led to the progressive increase in the coastal population in recent decades and the development of tourism. The attraction of the climate, waters, beaches, and gastronomy has transformed the Mediterranean into the world's main tourist destination, with a population of about 1,000,000,000 and 500,000,000 visitors per year.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This overpopulation has had dire ecological consequences, leading the Mediterranean to an ecological catastrophe and deep environmental crisis.<\/strong><\/span>Nowadays, our future is at stake<\/strong> <\/span>and it is crucial to act.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
