Up to 6,000 euros fine for driving by car on the beach.
Given the proliferation these days in social networks of videos that show bad practices in the natural environment, the Ministry of Environmental Sustainability wants to remember that this type of actions that threaten the protection of natural spaces can incur sanctions.
Island ecosystems are fragile territories, so any bad condition can cause irreparable damage to the territory and biodiversity. Its reproduction on social networks can also aggravate the problem, since it could cause a call effect.
The circulation of vehicles in natural spaces outside the enabled tracks causes a serious impact on the territory, the landscape, as well as affecting the birdlife. From the area of Environmental Sustainability it is warned that this type of actions entail sanctions of 600 to 6,000 euros, according to the Law of Land and Protected Natural Spaces of the Canary Islands. They may also carry sanctions as established by the Coastal Law.
In addition, the importance of citizen collaboration is recalled since, in the case of witnessing any of these infractions, it is necessary to notify 112 or the competent authorities such as local Police or environmental agents.
For the Ministry of Environmental Sustainability the objective is, above all, to prevent these illegal practices from becoming habitual, since they are authentic attacks against the natural heritage and the species that inhabit Fuerteventura. Therefore, it is important to promote environmental awareness to stop these actions and protect the environment.
Tamara: some publications are including a video of an instance today of a car getting stranded on a beach and needing a JCB to recover it. My decision was not to personally promote this video as it includes the view and sound track recorded by the protagonists as they drove across the beach and then got stuck, precisely the actions that are being discouraged.
