The director of the Biodiversiodad Foundation, Ana Leiva, together with the executive director of Oceana Europe, Xavier Pastor, will visit tomorrow in Gijón the exhibition “Marine Biodiversity: a treasure that we must protect”, as part of the celebrations on the occasion of the European Maritime Day.

The photographs in the exhibition have been selected from among the best snapshots taken on the expeditions of the Oceana Ranger catamaran, which has documented the Spanish seabed with the support of the Biodiversity Foundation. Its objective has been to document and identify areas of ecological importance within Spanish waters in order to propose measures for their conservation.

The images, some of them unpublished, have been taken by renowned underwater photographers, winners of various international awards. In them you can see habitats and species of great ecological value on the peninsular coasts, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The description of each of the snapshots is offered in Spanish and English.
