Dear Sir

You report that Gibraltar’s sea level is to rise by a metre.

Shouldn’t the mayor of La Línea be consulted about this first?

Sir, You report (Business, February 19): "The withdrawal of the
Gibraltar tax regime could dent the island’s economy, experts warned
last night." Not experts in geography, presumably.

Your sincerely,
DAVID HAWGOOD

They may be very soon!

Seriously though, yes. The whole area of La Lin and what is now the airport
runway was a salt marsh about a century back. Hence the name for the area,
"La Laguna", meaning lake.
