Overview

  • Aagesen branded the agreement to revise the Black Sea Law before October 2025 a “great irresponsibility” that endangers an internationally recognized restoration project.
  • The PP-Vox pact is one of 20 measures aimed at unblocking Murcia’s 2025 budget, sparking criticism from the minister for risking critical habitat recovery.
  • The government added two special bird protection areas in the Canary Islands to five sites announced by Pedro Sánchez, boosting marine reserves by 3,000 hectares.
  • Madrid will roll out at least 40 management plans over the next year for 80 new protected areas to safeguard marine biodiversity.
  • Highlighting Spain’s standing alongside Italy as a top bottom-trawling nation, Aagesen urged the fishing sector to adopt more sustainable practices.
