Community coffee morning returns to Los Alcazares to raise funds for Mar Menor protection

Local residents, environmental advocates, and community members will gather once again in Los Alcazares, for the return of “Coffee Company,” a community event aimed at supporting crucial protection and recovery efforts for the Mar Menor. The event, after a brief summer break, will finally make its return on Tuesday, September 8 and will continue on the second Tuesday of every month.

Monthly coffee morning finally returns after summer break

The morning sessions, a chat over coffee and breakfast, will provide a casual platform to discuss sustainable practices and community-led solutions for Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon. The initiative, led by local charity HELP Murcia Mar Menor, highlights how small-scale local action can drive meaningful environmental awareness across the Costa Calida.

Protecting Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon

The Mar Menor has faced severe ecological challenges in recent years, including agricultural runoff, urban pressure, and habitat degradation. Events like “Coffee Company” help to keep the lagoon’s recovery at the forefront of everyone’s minds, as well as connect passionate individuals with local projects that actively work to protect and preserve the ecosystem.

Connecting local business owners and residents

Participants at the September 8 event will have the opportunity to share ideas, learn about ongoing conservation campaigns, and explore practical ways to support the coastal environment. By bringing together diverse voices, from small business owners to long-time friends and neighbours, the gathering will be a great place to socialise and get involved.

Building a stronger community for environmental action

HELP Murcia Mar Menor stresses that the event is open to everyone interested in making a positive impact, regardless of their background or previous involvement in environmental causes. The meetup will serve as a welcoming space to build networks, strengthen town ties, and foster community pride in Los Alcazares.

As the Region of Murcia continues to navigate the recovery of the Mar Menor, gatherings like these remain a vital tool for inspiring action. The September 8 “Coffee Company” event stands as a testament to the local community’s ongoing commitment to protecting one of Spain’s most unique natural treasures for generations to come.
