I wrote a short while ago regarding the possibility of Lagoa dos Salgados (Pera Marsh) becoming recognised as a National Nature Reserve. This has been an ongoing struggle between a potential developer and the ICNF (Nature & Forestry) and other environmental organisations.
We are now at the position where the campaign has reached national level and through the on-line portal - particpa.pt, a public consultation is being held, from 9th Dec for 42 days. This is your opportunity to make your feelings known regarding the future of Salgados on this portal. I will talk about entering the portal in a moment but, from what I have seen on the web page, it is unlike Facebook for instance in that, your comments are unseen by the public at large when submitted . This means you will be addressing those directly concerned with the consultation process and not liable to any backlash. I am not going to influence anybody here but would draw your attention to the geographical boundaries involved as, it is much more extensive than the lagoons alone. Therefore if you have any comments on what you have seen, good or bad, in the wider area then that should be included also. The Portal: www.participa.pt Anywhere on the home page, right click and ' translate to English' should be available. Click on Register in top right corner Click Individual Fill in personal details and enter Silves in County box Go to bottom left corner and check box Bottom right, click Submit The Portal Participa will send you an email, open and click on 'Activacao de registo' This will open the Participa home page where you can now login. Scroll down all the projects until you come to the Salgados one Scroll down and click 'Participar' Choose 'outro' from the Tipo de participante section Now write something as the next part will not open unless you do!! Click just below the word 'Participacao' Now you can write your comments and finally click 'Submeter' at the bottom of the page. You should receive a second email, confirming your submission. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
