Antonio Luengo, who visited, together with the mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, the exhibition "La pandilla sallada" on Paseo Colón in Santiago de la Ribera, recalled that despite the improvement, "this has not ended" and stressed the The threat that a heat wave or DANA may pose to the lagoon recovery process. Regarding the levels of the water quality parameters, the counselor pointed out that salinity continues to grow and exceeds 41 milligrams per liter, turbidity is below 1 FTU and chlorophyll is 0.7 micrograms-liter.
Luengo added that oxygen levels are compatible with normality and that no stratification is observed in the water column in any of the measurements.

Antonio Luengo accused the central government of using the Maritime Captaincy "which is now replying to a letter that was sent 74 days ago." Luengo added that "there is no official writing in the Autonomous Community on this issue" and asked the Government Delegation to be "more collaborative and if it wants to help, to help and if not to move away but not to bother." The counselor recalled that the management plan for the natural area of ??Isla Grosa, "which has been monitored for 15 years" establishes that boats cannot approach more than 300 meters to the island or anchor within that radius "and what we do is monitor that this rule is met and that no damage occurs to the funds ". The mayor of San Javier José Miguel Luengo supported the counselor's statements and took the opportunity to demand from the central government the implementation of the Plan Vertido 0 al Mar Menor.
"We are reaching September and the works that were published two years ago in the BOE have not yet begun," stressed José Miguel Luengo, who highlighted the importance of these works to protect the Mar Menor and also the population from flooding.
The mayor of San Javier thanked "the effort of the Autonomous Community in the management and coordination for the protection of the Mar Menor" and highlighted "the objective improvement of the parameters on the quality of the water" and projects that protect both the neighbors and the Mar Menor,such as the rainwater channeling in the Los Pescadores neighborhood, which has already been completed and the next tender for the northern and southern stormwater collectors in San Javier.
