🌊 Calp Town Council conveys its position on the municipality’s fish farm to the European Parliament.
🇪🇺 Calp Town Council member Marco Bittner participated last week in Brussels as a speaker at the round table "Carnivorous Aquaculture: Eating up the Ocean, Threatening Food Security", held at the European Parliament headquarters as part of Ocean Week 2026. Bittner was the sole representative from a local administration, sharing the panel with MEP Emma Fourreau, French MP Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, and researcher Marine Cusa.
🐟 During his speech, he presented Calp as a municipality with a hundred years of tourism tradition and a centuries-old connection to the sea. He warned that the authorized expansion of the fish farm located off its coast increases its initial capacity fourteenfold, reaching 45 cages and 3,000 metric tons per year. He presented data from the 2024 environmental monitoring report and cited a study by the University of Alicante estimating potential losses to the local economy between 83 and 911 million euros over ten years.
