La Mar Menor est une lagune c\u00f4ti\u00e8re d\u2019eau sal\u00e9e situ\u00e9e dans un bassin versant agricole de la r\u00e9gion de Murcie, dans le sud-est de l\u2019Espagne. Au cours de la derni\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie, elle a connu une s\u00e9rie d\u2019\u00e9pisodes d\u2019eutrophisation s\u00e9v\u00e8res, notamment des prolif\u00e9rations d\u2019algues et des mortalit\u00e9s de poissons dues \u00e0 l\u2019anoxie. Ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements ont d\u00e9clench\u00e9 un important conflit sociopolitique impliquant de multiples acteurs, partis politiques et niveaux de gouvernance, qui a finalement conduit \u00e0 un clivage social entre les communaut\u00e9s \u00ab terrestres \u00bb et \u00ab maritimes \u00bb. En 2021, une initiative juridique citoyenne a recueilli plus de 600 000 signatures et a soumis au gouvernement espagnol  un projet de loi visant \u00e0 accorder la personnalit\u00e9 juridique \u00e0 la lagune. La loi a \u00e9t\u00e9 approuv\u00e9e en octobre 2022 et, apr\u00e8s quelques tentatives de blocage, sa mise en \u0153uvre a commenc\u00e9 d\u00e9but 2025. Une nouvelle structure de gouvernance ascendante est actuellement mise en place depuis les structures existantes, ouvrant la voie \u00e0 une transformation incertaine de ce territoire. En d\u00e9cembre 2025, la Mar Menor s\u2019est vu attribuer un num\u00e9ro d\u2019identification personnel espagnol, ent\u00e9rinant la reconnaissance de sa personnalit\u00e9 juridique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans cette conf\u00e9rence, je partagerai l\u2019histoire de la Mar Menor telle que je l\u2019ai v\u00e9cue personnellement au cours d\u2019un projet de recherche-intervention en sciences sociales de quatre ans visant \u00e0 ouvrir des espaces de dialogue dans un paysage contest\u00e9. J\u2019ai explor\u00e9 les controverses sur les causes et les solutions \u00e0 l\u2019eutrophisation de la lagune, et je me suis efforc\u00e9e de d\u00e9m\u00ealer les diff\u00e9rentes couches politiques, scientifiques et \u00e9motionnelles qui alimentent la dynamique de polarisation dans la r\u00e9gion.  D\u2019un point de vue ext\u00e9rieur, enthousiaste mais prudent, je r\u00e9fl\u00e9chirai aux opportunit\u00e9s et aux risques que pr\u00e9sente la lagune en tant que sujet l\u00e9galement reconnu, en prenant en consid\u00e9ration le fait que les premiers effets observables de cette reconnaissance sont une r\u00e9organisation profonde et encore inachev\u00e9e des mobilisations et structures de gestion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mar Menor is a saltwater coastal lagoon located in an agrarian watershed in the region of Murcia, Southeastern Spain. Over the past decade, it has gone through a series of eutrophic events including algae blooms and fish mortality from anoxia. These events prompted an important sociopolitical conflict with multiple actors, political parties and levels of governance involved, ultimately leading to a societal cleavage between \u2018the land\u2019 and \u2018the sea\u2019 communities. In 2021, a citizen-led legal initiative collected more than 600,000 signatures and submitted to the Spanish Government  a law to grant legal personhood to the lagoon. The law was approved in Oct 2022 and, after some intents of blockage, commenced its implementation early 2025. A new bottom-up governance structure is now being crafted amidst existing ones, opening a pathway into an uncertain transformation of this territory. In December 2025, the Mar Menor has been assigned a personal Spanish ID number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this talk, I will share the story of the Mar Menor as I have personally lived it during a 4 year social research project aimed at opening dialogue spaces in a contested landscape. I have explored the controversies over the causes and solutions to the eutrophication of the lagoon, and strived to unpack the different political, scientific and emotional layers feeding the polarizing dynamic in the region.  From an external, enthusiastic yet cautious position, I will reflect on the opportunities and risks the lagoon as a legally recognised subject bears, acknowledging that everything is now being re-assembled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
