The plenary session of the Cabildo de Tenerife has given the green light to the port of Fonsalía, a controversial infrastructure that has been approved with the majority support of the forces represented in the island corporation, except for the vote against Sí Podemos Canarias. The approval of the project is conditioned by the 20 environmental conditions set by the Ministry of Ecological Transition. At the moment, as explained by the president of the Tenerife Council, Pedro Martín, at the moment no communication has been received from the Government of the Canary Islands regarding the expiration of the Environmental Impact Statement. This impact study describes five berthing lines for large vessels, a fishing dock, 200 dry dock places and 467 places in the sports area. This infrastructure has provoked the rejection of ecological groups due to the affectation that maritime traffic can suppose in an area considered as a sanctuary for cetaceans.
