• A coordination commission for the recovery and protection of Mar Menor has been established between the central government, regional, and the 10 affected municipalities.
• The Mar Menor Recovery and Protection Law of 2020 mandates this coordination, although the agreement does not imply additional measures or funding.
• The Council of Mar Menor, a more executive body, and an independent scientific committee are necessary to monitor the progress of the lagoon.
• The law was approved by PP, PSOE and Ciudadanos, but now the government relies on Vox, which has rejected the measures and defends the interests of farm owners.
• It is urgent to implement the law that restricts the use of fertilizers and shuts down illegal irrigation.
• The Ministry of Ecological Transition has a plan approved in November 2021 with funds of 484 million for priority actions.
• It's necessary to reorganize water use and convert intensive crops into sustainable ones to recover the lagoon.

Conclusion: Despite political challenges, the restoration and protection of Mar Menor is essential and requires the implementation of various legal and management measures to ensure its survival and regeneration.
