The consumption of fresh water has generated additional problems in
certain territories, along with the consequences of global warming.
This has meant that, in the most vulnerable areas, such as the Balearic
archipelago in the Mediterranean, alternative water supply systems
have been established: desalination plants. However, the ecological
impact of these infrastructures is great, mainly affecting aquatic
ecosystems. In the light of the above, this paper addresses the
ecological harm caused by desalination and brine discharges on a
protected and priority species, Posidonia oceanica. For this and taking
as ethical-legal foundation the theory of ecological justice, a multilevel
analysis was carried out from an ecocriminology perspective on the
impacts of this authorized practice on Posidonia and other species.
Finally, a restorative justice view will allow us to understand and
envision possible solutions to this ecological harm. [-]
