“CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT, THIS IS A THEME PARK.

WE SHOW YOU SOME REASONS WHY WE WILL FIGHT AGAINST THIS MACROPROJECT.

THEY WANT TO “ENHANCE VALUE” A PLACE TO FILL IT WITH HOTELS AND TOURIST INFRASTRUCTURES.

We already know what happens when an area is allocated to mass tourism:

THE IDENTITY AND NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE PLACE ARE ALTERED FOREVER.

The Underwater Gardens Park project is intended to be located in Punta Blanca, an isolated coastal area in the municipality of Guía de Isora. This place stands out for its landscape and has one of the most emblematic waves on the island of Tenerife, highly valued by the surfing community.

A PROJECT THAT IS DRESSED AS REGENERATIVE, BUT IS QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

Land part:

They call it a regenerative project but they are going to transform the space with the construction of diving pools, spas, a bar, gardens and other facilities. This is called prioritizing leisure and tourism over the recovery of the local ecosystem.

A PROJECT THAT IS DRESSED AS REGENERATIVE, BUT IS QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

Marine part:

The project is based on the “regeneration of the seabed” and to this end they are going to install marine structures in an area that belongs to the ZEC Teno-Rasca. What the islands’ seabeds need to recover are marine reserves and a solution to the problem of sewage outfalls, not structures to make diving more attractive.

IRREPARABLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.

These alterations to the soil and seabed cause permanent damage to ecosystems. This project will affect the area protected by the Natura 2000 Network Teno Rasca Special Conservation Zone and its adjacent land area.
