The decision of the Administrative court Burgas however can be appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court within 14 days of its announcement.
Let Nature Remain in Bulgaria non-governmental organizations and civic groups coalition warns that after conducted research the government already knows where Black Sea dunes are situated, but continues not to show all available information.

Most likely, a big part of the dunes have been illegally exchanged, privatized or restituted through multiple breaches of the constitution and Bulgarian laws. This is why a few successive governments have been afraid to announce which oligarchs are the new owners of the dunes, how they have got them, and which ministers and other state officials have to be take the responsibility for that.

The law holds that all dunes, seaside lakes, lagoons, firths and wetlands are public state property. All of them since January 1, 2008 should have been included in cadastral maps of Black Sea municipalities as per the Black Sea Coast Spatial Planning Act from August 15, 2007.

Meanwhile, Let Nature Remain in Bulgaria non-governmental organizations coalition, together with organizations from the tourism branch and related to cultural legacy protection demanded officially from Premier Boiko Borisov to protect from building-up Karadere, one of the last remaining wild coasts of the Black Sea.

They insist in a letter to be negated the spatial development plan of Byala Municipality and the elaborate spatial development plan Byala-North Recreation Zone, on the account of them being made in breach of the rules and regulations defined by the Spatial Planning Act., Ordinance N 2/1995 on rules and regulations for special development planning of the Black |Sea coast and Environment Protection Act.

The organizations representing three sectors of importance for social-economic development of Bulgaria signed this summer a memorandum for sustainable development of Bulgarian tourism through protection of natural and cultural-historic heritage. They promote the idea for establishment of a new protected area and enlarging the area of Natura 2000 for the habitats, aiming at long-term protection of the seaside coast zone of Karadere as a tourism resource.
