Environmental struggles related to the Gulf port
It is interesting to follow the connection between the establishment of the Gulf port and The struggle waged by Haifa port workers against privatization[/url:3h9egiqa]. It is also interesting to understand if there is a connection between the initiative and Mizrahi Port, which according to experts will be handed over to private hands, and the opposition of Haifa port workers [url=http://haipo.co.il/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1004:3h9egiqa]to the opening The urban seafront in front of Ben Gurion Boulevard. Either way, it is clear that this is a complex issue. The Society for the Protection of Nature is currently formulating its position on the issue and claims that TMA 13/B/1/1 is not ripe for approval at this stage and raises serious problems. There is also a group of civil activists in Haifa that opposes the construction of the port in the Gulf.

In a recent meeting with the CEO of Hani, it became clear that:
Hani spent NIS 20 million on an environmental impact survey for the proposed monstrous plan, which will forever break the natural coastline and disrupt the natural flow of seawater in the bay, for all the processes involved.
· There is an alternative plan, which was presented to the CEO of Hani, according to which the docks will be built parallel to the coastline instead of perpendicular to it, without changing the natural coastline, and with considerable savings in construction resources. Has anyone thought what huge quarry should be built (and where) to bring all the dirt and rocks needed to dry the sea and build the docks in the proposed plan? What ecological damage will be caused at the quarry site? How and can such damage be repaired?
Most likely Hani will stick to the existing worst planning, because it is embarrassing to throw away 20 million NIS and it is easier to waste 20 billion and cause irreparable damage to future generations, at sea and on land. Everything starts and ends with a swollen ego and a shrunken mind.
