Question 19971 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Ramlati Ali draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the pollution of the Mahorais lagoon. This immense natural aquarium which shelters three quarters of the world's marine biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activity. In fact, the insufficient coverage of the island in wastewater treatment plants leads to the discharge of wastewater into the lagoon. So many village beaches are prohibited for swimming due to the insufficient quality of the water. Added to this are harmful products such as bleach, used for laundry in rivers, not to mention waste of all kinds (cans, plastic bags, etc.) which are washed away by rainwater. In addition, the island suffers from a significant erosion problem due to slash-and-burn cultivation and uncontrolled urbanization of coastal plots which leads to siltation. of the lagoon. It is therefore urgent to react by equipping the island with the infrastructure necessary for wastewater collection and waste treatment. Given the scale of the phenomenon, it asks it to indicate the measures it intends to take quickly to preserve this biodiversity.
