Following the official complaint from 17 Environmental Organisations for the violation of the environmental legislation in Natura 2000 Network areas of Elafonisos, the production company of GNTM was fined, due to the off-road vehicles that appeared moving on sand dunes, which are protected.

In addition, the case is currently at the stage of preliminary examination, to investigate an offense of Law 1650/1986 “For the protection of the environment”. The response of the Department of Environment and Hydroeconomics of the Regional Unit of Laconia and the Prosecutor of the Gythio Court is a positive progress regarding the implementation of environmental legislation in our country.

We hope that the response of the competent authorities for the implementation of the environmental laws and legislation, will be a means of preventing such incidents and raising public awareness for the Protected Areas in our country.
