If you love the Mediterranean sea, its coasts and beaches, its valuable wildlife; if you do not want to see oil platforms in the sea; if you don't want to find oil polluting the waters or messing the coast; if you do not want the death of cetaceans, turtles and seabirds, or disappearance of fishing, then this should interest you.

The environment and economy of the Balearic Islands, Valencian Community and Catalonia in the western Mediterranean are seriously threatened by a number of oil projects.

Now is in public information period the Environmental Impact Study of the first phase of Cairn Energy's oil project in the Gulf of Valencia, between Ibiza and Formentera and the coast of Valencia.

The project is called "3D Seismic Acquisition Campaign in permits B, G, AM-1 and AM-2 in the Gulf of Valencia "and Cairn Energy promotes through its Spanish subsidiary Capricorn Spain Limited.

This "seismic acquisition campaign" (or "acoustic soundings") aims to map the seabed to detect the geological formations capable of storing hydrocarbons, then to proceed to the perforation of oil found, continue commercial exploitation of the deposit. To obtain the information needed to make that map airguns that emit powerful sound waves of a huge sound level capable of penetrating up to 7,000 feet into the ocean floor are used. The noise emitted is about 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than the engine of a jet aircraft. Explosions are taken continuously over 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for a total period of almost three months.

There is broad scientific consensus that ensures that these waves will cause serious injury to marine life: fish, turtles, cetaceans .., adversely affecting their behavior and their ability to survive, and not only can cause irreversible physiological damage, but also their death. A significant decline in fish catches occurs over long periods of time. The environmental impact of the project is critical.

From Space Ibiza, we support this initiative and invite you not only to spread the word but also to speak out and sign a petition so that together we can preserve what is ours. To do so, the allegations must present official points Insular Councils or the headquarters of the Central Government. 3 Original signed to be accepted along with a photocopy of identity card or passport. They're getting hard but we will not surrender.
