Gibraltar dumping all of its raw sewage into Mediterranean

What is it with the British and them dumping their sewage into bodies of water?

UK wants so many treaties signed with EU, just make it a hard requirement. The EU has always been so lenient towards UK mostly bcs of USA geopolitical power (more than UK’s), and the USA is def losing influence.

The area is supposed to be protected for wildlife but often there are “wet wipes and plastic pollution entangled in algae and all over the rocks”, said Lewis Stagnetto, of the Nautilus Project, a local environmental charity.

Raw sewage pollution can trigger toxic algal blooms that strip oxygen from the water, choking aquatic life. It exposes fish and mammals to a cocktail of chemicals and plastics that can disrupt reproduction and damage health, and puts people at risk by spreading pathogens and antibiotic-resistant genes.

I believe any person or country incurs an inescapable debt they must pay back when environmental damage is done by unnecessary environmental harm that is reasonably preventable, no matter where on earth that impact happens.

The losses to the productivity of fisheries and related industries is huge and things like this place entire ecosystems that sustain landscapes under threat.

Southern Spain should drop all their trash in Gibraltar then.
