Teresa Conesa is part of the citizen movement Banderas Negras, later constituted as an association Alianza Mar Menor ( AMARME ) and a member of the promoters of the ILP of the Mar Menor.
Her relationship with the Mar Menor goes back from her childhood when she visited this wonderful area with her family. The crystal clear, salty, and warm waters, and a fauna and flora that made it very peculiar, especially the seahorses.
When the process of progressive contamination became so brutal that it caused the first ecocide on 10.12.2019, the emotional impact provoked society to raise voices. That’s when we began to demand solutions to this problem, demonstrating in the streets with protest banners and lawyers like Teresa Vicente and Eduardo Salazar informed us that the Mar Menor ecosystem could be given subjective rights. Rights to be protected and to exist.
