The Cedeira town council hosted a working meeting this morning between municipal representatives from Cedeira and Valdoviño and officials from the Cedeira Fishermen's Guild. The parties revisited the demands of the shellfish gatherers' collective, which is facing a very serious situation due to the absence of resources.
The crisis affecting the shellfish beds in the Cedeira estuary, which began in 2024, has worsened to the point of zero productivity. The collective's demand, supported by the municipal governments of both Cedeira and Valdoviño, is for measures to be adopted to restore the beds and secure a future for the sector, along with immediate solutions to guarantee the economic viability of the shellfish gatherers.
Present at today's working meeting were the mayors of Cedeira and Valdoviño, Pablo Diego Moreda Gil and Alberto González Fernández; the first deputy mayor of Cedeira, María Xosé Pernas Díaz, and councilwoman Carmela Prieto. Also attending were the second vice-president of the Fishermen's Guild and president of the shellfish gatherers' group, Susana Bellón; the group's secretary, Raquel Ramos; the guild's secretary, María Rodríguez; and the head fisherman, Ricardo Villar.
The representatives of the shellfish gatherers' collective from the Cedeira estuary and the Fishermen's Guild are summoned to the meeting on the 12th in Santiago.
