Overview

• Salvamento Marítimo broadcast the navigational notice on 4 August after Pedro Sánchez arrived in Lanzarote, and the restriction remains in force until 31 August.
• The zone off Costa Teguise is defined by lines joining points A, B, C and D to the coast and is closed to all vessels except Guardia Civil patrols and emergency craft.
• Fishermen from Arrecife say they have had to move 10 to 15 miles south to collect live bait, increasing fuel use and time during the tuna season.
• Beachgoers at nearby El Ancla continued swimming without warnings, while a small fishing boat was told by the Guardia Civil to leave the restricted area.
• Local sailing regattas and traffic to the Port of Los Mármoles proceeded outside the cordoned area, which a yacht club leader estimates at under one square nautical mile, and Spanish media report an enhanced security detail of about 40 agents.
