The Portuguese Surf School Association is actively involved in the “Mega Cordão Humano: for the quality of the sea, the beaches and the environment” which will take place at Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira beaches on the next April 14th.
AESDP, representing the national surfing community, is particularly concerned with the project to extend the outer breakwater at the Port of Leixões, due to the potential risk that this work represents for one of the main references in the national surfing industry.
We appeal for the participation of all in this moment of defense of the environmental interests of an entire community facing the sea. We believe that this is a great opportunity to face the lack of consideration for the environmental and social impacts that development projects, with purely economic objectives, may have on the communities where they are developed.
