Councilman Progress and Democracy Union in the city of Murcia, José Antonio Sotomayor, proposes the creation of a series of artificial floating islands that serve as a refuge for wildlife that lives along the river Segura as it passes through the city .
Sotomayor, who will defend this initiative in full council, explains that the dredging is currently conducting the Segura basin (CHS) has caused the disappearance of these islands, which served as shelter for birds such as herons, lapwings, kingfishers , egrets and ducks of different species.
"Their removal has led these birds have to rest and nest in the ways that have been on the banks of the river bed, which leaves them exposed to predators, primarily stray cats, who now have easy access to their potential prey" Sotomayor added.
"These islands consist of treated wood structure, to which we add a sufficient layer of farmland where hydrophytes cultivate plants that reproduce river habitat before dredging can".
For the council of training magenta, "is hard to understand how they have not contemplated in the draft implementing measures to prevent this vulnerability works fauna Runway".
Therefore, the mayor of UPyD Murcia considered "logical" which is the CHS itself that establishes corrective measures within their own project 'Environmental Recovery of the River Segura', to preserve, recover these species, and serve well for nesting place and rearing of chicks for many species of waterfowl.
