Considered the most important coastal saltwater lagoon in the western Mediterranean, the once crystal-clear waters of the Mar Menor had been polluted by mining, rampant urban and tourist infrastructure development, and in recent years, intensive agriculture and livestock farming. Debate with Teresa Vicente, who led a historic campaign to save the Mar Menor ecosystem from collapse, resulting in the passing of a new law in September 2022 granting unique legal rights to the lagoon. Vicente is the winner of the 2024 Goldman Environmental Award and is director of the Chair of Human Rights and Rights of Nature (University of Murcia). The session will be moderated by Gemma Pinyol, RECI coordinator. Free entry. Book here.
