Documentary abstract — original language
This commentary proposes a reading of the new Spanish law recognizing the legal personality of the Mar Menor lagoon and its basin. Published on September 30, 2022, the new law is bold and almost “revolutionary” from a legal point of view. Hailed by some, criticized by others, the law does not leave people indifferent. It gives legal personality to a lagoon located in the southern Mediterranean region of Spain. The law grants a series of rights to this natural entity and establishes a new system of governance. A number of issues remain unresolved by this law, including its integration into the pre-existing legal system, the functioning of the new governing body, and the different degrees of responsibility to be accorded. The purpose of this commentary is to introduce the new text and clarify its scope.
