On Thursday, January 15, a team from the Ministry of the Environment made up of technicians from the national directorates of Water, Quality and Environmental Assessment and Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services carried out an inspection tour in different coastal towns in the department of Maldonado, with the aim of verifying environmental non-compliance and responding to citizen complaints, as well as notifications received from departmental authorities.
The intervention is part of the ministry's role as a national environmental control authority, responsible for ensuring compliance with current regulations and the protection of coastal ecosystems. In this context, irregular situations linked to subdivisions and inadequate land management were revealed, as well as poor practices in water management, with direct impact on wetlands of high environmental value, including those of Laguna Blanca and José Ignacio.
During the tour, which covered different points from the Laguna Blanca area to José Ignacio, the technicians carried out inspections in the territory, documenting the non-compliance detected. The information collected will give rise to the corresponding administrative actions, aimed at correcting the situations found and evaluating their environmental impact.
In this context, the director of the National Directorate of Environmental Control and Evaluation (Dinacea), Alejandro Nario, held a working meeting with authorities from the Prefecture of Maldonado, in order to coordinate follow-up actions and strengthen inter-institutional control mechanisms in the coastal area.
The tour was developed jointly with the participation of technical teams from Dinacea, Dinagua and Dinabise, reaffirming the ministry's comprehensive approach to environmental oversight.
In this way, the Ministry of Environment reaffirms its active presence in the territory, exercising its role as environmental inspector, responding to citizen complaints and working in a sustained manner for environmental planning and the preservation of natural resources and the coastal ecosystem.
