Save Adloun

Save Adloun

The sea of Adloun is no less magical and rich than its beach, which is one of the last habitats of sea turtles on the Lebanese coast. Dredging 50,000 square meters of the beach and filling a similar area of the sea to build the large tourist port (around 100,000 square meters) will destroy these habitats. This will disrupt the entire ecological system of the Adloun coast and the surrounding marine environment, which, contrary to claims, will directly and significantly harm the fishing profession.
