Sea pollution ????

[Phil]

Sorry to say that the quoted observation PROOVES nothing at all.
Stoops observations today contradict it totally.

So, why no answer to my question?  This resort was fined 80K TL by the Coastguard for polluting the sea water. So, what did they pollute the water with?. 

It cannot be denied that they have been fined so they are guilty of polluting the sea water, whether they have a sewage pipe or not, they must have put quite a lot of "matter"  into the water to be fined.

Is there a link to confirm this?

[Phil]

And no answer to my question either .........

Where is the pipe ? (or any evidence of any sign of a pipe having been installed)

IF the Coastguard are responsible for monitoring coastal pollution, IF they have power to impose such fines, and IF a fine has been levied, however the hotel caused any pollution it was not via a pipe into the sea.

Given the size of the hotel, if they were discharging all their untreated human waste into to the sea (which has very little tide) the beaches would be knee deep in the stuff by now, as well as being littered with dead marine life.

The Thompson rebuttal statement is quite clear “The hotel does not have any pipes that go into the sea.”  ( What grounds are there for not believing this, but accepting FB posts as being gospel ? )

My last comment on the matter is that until someone can post a photo showing any sign of a pipe existing or having been installed then it would be wiser to assume it does not exist.

I will eat humble pie if someone proves me wrong.

The brown 'slick' is the sand churned up by the waves and high winds. Where the water gets deeper it disappears. That's how it works on the coast.

Last week it went out about 50 feet. Today it's 200 yards plus! That's a hell of a lot of crap!

I prefer to take notice of a bar owner who has lived and worked the area for the last 8 years and Calis itself much longer. I think he will know more about the sea here than any of us on this forum. If he says it's the 12 Islands boats dropping their load, so to speak, then I would tend to believe him tbh.

Link to the fine Jacqui?

Interesting how much they seem to spend on re-using waste. Not saying I think they are anywhere near brilliant but they seem to think they are:

And how much cruise ships dump in the ocean :

The below piece was posted by Liz 101 who lives in Calis and I have not reason not to believe her.

Fined 8,271,000 tl for an illegal basement. 4,132,000 for the construction co & the balance payable by Barut, owners of the Sensatori. In addition they have been fined 80k tl by the coastguard for sea pollution

[Phil]

So no proof a fine either......................

[Jacqui Harvey]

Well, we don't know that.  I know Liz and would not think she would make up stories.  I hope she may get back and clarify this matter.   As I don't live in the area and neither do other members arguing for this resort.  I tend to take the word of a local.
In the meantime, there is no way I would allow any of my family to dip their toes in the water.  No matter how many people seem to want to defend this place.
