In response to a complaint made through the free telephone service 0800-Ambient (0800-262.43.68), a multidisciplinary commission of the Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism (MINEC), moved to Laguna del Morro, adjacent to Playa La Caracola, on Margarita Island, to verify possible ecological damage to mangroves in the area.

The information was released by MINEC on its account on the social network Instagram, in which it states that in actions prior to this visit, the stoppage of earthworks linked to a tourism project being carried out in the area had already been ordered, in order to carry out a new environmental impact study in the area.

In addition, the MINEC specifies that “after the verification, it was agreed to set up a working table in which officials with competence in the field will participate”.
