Ecologists in Action protest at the Playa de La Llana placing a Black Flag in the old tower, which is several meters into the sea because of the alteration of coastal dynamics by extending the port of San Pedro and other reasons of mismanagement and the periodic removal of wrack years of Posidonia oceanica, deep uncontrolled discharges of untreated waste water and brine.
This action is part of the campaign carried out by the Velero Diosa Maat, under the Black Banners report 2009 "The crisis is an opportunity to the coast."
La Playa de La Llana received the report of 2009 one of 32 black flags were awarded to the Region of Murcia, regression and degradation that is suffering from this protected area of high ecological value due to the expansion of the port Sports of San Pedro del Pinatar and government mismanagement, reflected in negative actions for conservation, for example, the removal of seagrass wrack in previous years, or the construction of sewage outfalls.
This beach is located in the Regional Park "Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar.
This area, as well as regional security, with figures of international protection as SPAs, LIC, Wetland of International Importance and Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI).
This beach shows a clear example of coastal erosion (deterioration of the coastal dynamics) due to recent construction and expansion of the Port of San Pedro, and the removal of seagrass wrack year after year leaving the nude beach to pressure wave; She also presented an altered dune front.
The most important cause of the decline of the beach has been the construction and expansion of the port, that has altered sea currents that erode the beach, and because of this sand will need regular contributions to the persistence of it.
The aim is to supply a stretch of coastline length of 2000 meters with 330,000 m3 of sand of marine origin of the funds coming to Cala Reona and Cabo de Palos, about 20 meters deep.
Dredge vessels would pass through areas of great ecological value, such as oceanic Posidonia LIC declared Natura 2000 and Marine Reserve of Cabo de Palos-Islas Hormigas.
A clear example of regression suffered by this beach when we spotted its watchtower, situated at the beginning of the beach, stuck several feet in the sea, when initially be built several feet into the beach.
This case is particularly serious because the responsibilities borne Park Department of Natural Environment and the performances on the beach on the Coastal Authority.
The latter informed the mayor of San Pedro the need to stop that removal of seagrass wrack, which currently are not removed.
This area is important to make an urgent intervention of management, with coordination of the different administrations, as it is a protected natural area of great value, if the continuous regression is presented as a threat to the Mar Menor, as is a strategic area of conservation of the salt lake, and are already producing the salt intrusion.
