.Uncontrolled dumping into the sea off the airport coast

.# Uncontrolled Discharges into the Sea along the Airport Coast

All signs point to a possible loss or spill from the airport area or its vicinity.

A discharge of wastewater has become a normal occurrence along the coastal area next to Fuerteventura’s airport. This stretch is frequented by many island residents for exercise or strolling, and the foul odor, along with visible waste, is causing revulsion among passers‑by.

The spill, which has been present for a long time, has now become routine, and according to residents who walk the area daily, it has intensified.

All signs indicate that this may be a loss or discharge from the airport zone that could be violating environmental legislation and might constitute an environmental crime, as it can cause substantial damage to water quality and the land.
