64 inspections on Fuerteventura: checks of agricultural land in four municipalities
On 15 September, 64 inspections were carried out on agricultural land in the municipalities of La Oliva, Puerto del Rosario, Antigua and Tuineje due to suspected legal breaches.
The operation was conducted by the Canary Islands government, Cabildo Fuerteventura, local police services and Seprona. It targeted illegal containers, fences, prefabricated houses and unauthorised structures. Inter-institutional cooperation enabled the identification of violations on the ground. Administrative fines are currently being imposed by the relevant authorities. Data from the Environment Protection Agency indicates an upward trend. 649 cases were analysed on Fuerteventura between 2023 and 2026. This included 120 cases in 2023, 110 in 2024 and 160 in 2025. Closing a case does not mean the problem has disappeared. It signifies the transfer of competence to the appropriate administration.
