Last Saturday at the civic centre of the Colònia de Sant Jordi (Ses Salines) there was a meeting organised by a group of neighbours to inform others of the area and interested people about the project to build a paseo marítimo along the coast of this town.
Some hundred people attended the meeting, both individually or representing different communities, such as the GOB, and the debate resulted in the constitution of a platform with a view to avoiding the transformation of the coastal area of Ses Salines. .

The GOB has presented allegations to the Demarcación de Costas de Balears, an organisation dependent on the Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, requesting the withdraw of the project for a sea walk considering that it represents an obvious scenic impact and an unnecessary transformation of the coastal area that is today still hardly changed. In all some three hundred allegations have been presented, the majority of which oppose the construction of a sea walk to preserve the original state of the area.

Meanwhile, the Youth Group of the GOB carried out last Sunday informative and protest action in the maritime area of the Colònia de Sant Jordi affected by the projected sea walk. The protest consisted in pulling up the Carpobrotus edulis, an invasive exotic plant known popularly as 'corre, corre' that displaces the natural plants of the area, and in giving information to neighbours and visitors who were walking around the area to explain the problem relating to the expansion of that plant. The Youth Group of the GOB, with this protest, are demanding the preservation of the coastal surroundings of the Colònia de Sant Jordi, and stating their rejection to the project by the Ministry of Environment, for the transformation, artificial changing of the scenery and the environmental impact that it would represent for the natural surroundings.

As to the Advance Plan for the Control of Natural Resources of the Península de Levant, presented last Friday by the councillor for Environment, Margalida Rosselló, the GOB positively values the proposal, but think it is insufficient and that it should also include the areas of Artà and Sant Llorenç, that have been excluded from the Plan.
