You are here: Home » Valencia News » Valencia News Archive » Work Stopped

Following a decision by the Coastal Council and the Ports directorate of the Valencian Government, all work has been stopped on the enlargement of the Campomanes Port in Altea after several ecological lobbies including the World Wildlife Fund issued official complaints to the effect that rubbish was being thrown into the sea to form the basis for the port extension. A decision is expected to be made next month as to what to do in order that the enlargement does not harm the local fauna. Currently, inspectors pass by daily to ensure that the works do not continue.
