Zalul calls on the management of Unilever and the Telma factory to immediately stop the flow of wastewater onto the Haifa beaches.

Zalul calls on the Ministry of the Environment to immediately stop the flow of wastewater onto the beach, even if this requires the cancelation of the factory’s discharge permit.

Our organization calls on the Municipality of Haifa to immediately cancel the business license of the Telma factory until the streaming of waste onto the city’s beaches ceases completely.

Zalul kicked off our newest campaign in Haifa on Monday morning, August 9, 2010, with a gala ribboncutting ceremony. Our target: The 5 million cubic meters of waste water being dumped from the Telma factory in the Haifa Bay’s industrial zone into the sea every year.

Corona Save the Beach is an international initiative of Corona beer. In Israel, Corona and Zalul joined forces for Corona Save the Beach, aimed at raising public awareness of the importance of saving and preserving the Israeli beaches.

A great achievement from Zalul: The Sea Spillage Permit Committee officially adopts "The Polluter Must Advertise."

Starting December 22, 2009 every plant that receives a discharge permit will be required to publish the conditions of the permit in the media.

"The Polluter Must Advertise" is one of Zalul's latest projects that will help to protect and maintain Israel's sea, rivers, and streams.

As in previous years, Zalul has published our State of the Sea Report for 2009 and made it available for the public.

Despite the heat over a 100 people showed up to protest the pollution that has closed Tel Aviv and Herzliya's beaches for over three weeks.

For over two weeks the beaches of Tel Aviv and Herzliya have been polluted by sewage from Or-Yehuda!
Join us this Friday, 6.3.09, at Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv to protest the negligence that is hurting the health of Tel Aviv and Herzliya residents!

The map highlights the most dangerous government-permitted pollution spilled directly into the Mediterranean Sea as well as Israel’s coastal rivers.

Each year over 50 million cubic meters of industrial effluents and sewage are dumped into the coastal waters of Israel by special permit of the Inter-ministerial Committee for Issuance of Discharge Permits without any discharge fee. Millions of shekels stay in the hands of corporations rather than going towards the application of best available technologies or a governmental fund for protecting the environment.

On November 11, 2007, Zalul Environmental Association began a petition supporting the bill "The Polluter Must Advertise" introduced by Knesset Member Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) to expose the names of those groups who are pollution the sea in Israel.

As a result of the Sea Report that Zalul published 6 months ago, the organization was invited to participate in an inter-ministerial committee which will update the current standards for the quality of sea water in declared beaches.


In the framework of the committee, Zalul demanded that the public be continuously informed about the conditions of the sea water and that the online map with the pollution statistics that is available throughout the summer months, be available in the winter as well.
