On Friday 29.06 at noon, Zalul, together with the Municipality of Acco, The Green Cell of Acco and additional organizations convened with residents to rescue the gulf of Acco.

The convention, which took place on Crimson Beach in Acco, was part of Zalul's program of operative action in the rescue of the gulf.

For a long time now, the coastal swimming beaches of Acco have been closed in the aftermath of discharged urban industrial sewage to the gulf via the Naaman river and various pipelines. As a result, inhabitants of Acco and its surrounds have been denied their right to swim in the beaches of their city.

Zalul, the Municipality of Acco and additional organizations, including: The Green Cell, the Council of Urban Youth, Contrary on Contrary, Fisherman Organization of Acco and the Urban Kibbutz in Acco, convened with residents on Crimson Beach in order to protest and to rescue the coastal beaches in the city.

The conference ended with a protest march in the southern entrance to the city.

According to organizers, about 250 residents of Acco and the surrounding area participated in the event.

Said Ezer Fishler, manager of the campaign for Zalul: "The summer is already here, and coastal beaches throughout the country are filled with people looking for refreshment.  Only the inhabitants of Acco must avoid the possibility of enjoying the natural resource of their city. The Gulf of Acco is not a basin for the sewage of the north! Area inhabitants are the victims of severe oversight. It seems at times that the proportion of environmental quality for inhabitants of the periphery is minimal in the relation to the inhabitants of the center, and gulf Acco is a living example. The residents of Acco are fed up from drying out in the sun, and therefore, in the convention of residents we demanded on their behalf to give back the sea!"
