Prospecting for Hydrocarbons on the Coast of Marbella

In the last few days a Swedish ship has been prospecting for oil and gas off the coast of Marbella. Since the marine ecosystems must be protected, the Association has requested  reassurance from the Comandancia de Marina on the following issues:
– Is there adequate signalling and security procedures that guarantee the protection of human life as
stated in the Law  27/1992 ?
– Is there any control of the ship’s activities by the marine Guardia Civil? etc.

Letters have been sent to the Environment, Coast Demarcation and Public Works and Transport Departments requesting full information with regard to the potential impact of a successful outcome to these prospections on the marine life and the Fishing and Turism sectors of Marbella.
