Greenpeace Backs Telde Residents in Long-Running Fish Farm Dispute
Residents of Melenara and Salinetas reiterated their demands this Saturday in a new protest, which saw the involvement of Greenpeace. They maintain that the aquaculture cages operating off the coast of the Gran Canaria municipality of Telde are the cause of the detrimental effects they have been suffering since 1998.
A Coastal Conflict Decades in the Making
The protest highlights a deep-seated local conflict that has persisted for over 25 years. Community members point directly to the offshore fish farms as the source of ongoing issues affecting their shoreline and quality of life. The participation of the international environmental organisation Greenpeace marks a significant escalation in the campaign, bringing greater visibility to the residents’ long-standing grievances.
