Training session on the marine Natura 2000 Network in Almuñecar (Granada)
A training session will soon take place in Almuñécar (Granada) to train and raise awareness about the marine areas of the Natura 2000 Network in the Spanish Mediterranean, and in particular the Tesorillo-Salobreña Cliffs and Seabed and Punta de La Mona Cliffs and Seabed areas (Granada). This action is part of the development of a training campaign that includes 15 activities in the autonomous communities of Andalusia, the Region of Murcia, the Valencian Community, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.
The Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO), in coordination with the Directorate-General for Biodiversity, Forests and Desertification and the autonomous communities involved, is responsible for these actions within the framework of the European project LIFE A-MAR, Knowing and loving the marine areas of the Natura 2000 Network to protect them, of which she is a member. The project is coordinated by the Italian Federation of Parks and Nature Reserves (Federparchi) and is being developed in parallel in Italy and Spain. It is supported by the LIFE Program of the European Union.
The training campaign includes 15 face-to-face sessions aimed at professionals in the tourism sector linked to the marine environment, such as tour operators, nature guides, diving companies, fishing tourism and the recreational nautical sector. These sessions are designed to raise awareness of the obligations and recommendations derived from the European Birds and Habitats Directives and other related regulations, as well as to promote good practices and promote the compatibility of activities with the conservation of the marine environment, especially diving activities in marine protected areas.
To attend the sessions, prior registration is required. All of them are free.
The largest network of protected areas
The Natura 2000 Network is the European network of protected areas, the largest in the world. Its purpose is to ensure the long-term conservation of priority species and habitats for Europe, and to contribute to halting the loss of biodiversity, while ensuring economic development that respects these important natural values. They are managed both by the autonomous community where each space is located and by the General State Administration.
The Spanish Mediterranean is made up of 128 marine or maritime-terrestrial areas, covering 16% of its waters.
