The SOS-Fartet project aims to determine the current state of conservation of the fartet and its habitat in two natural parks on the coast of Girona that belong to the Natura 2000 Network. Another of the main objectives of the project is the creation of new refuge habitats and their subsequent adaptation for the establishment of new populations. Finally, to raise awareness among the population of the need to protect the fartet and its habitat, outreach and environmental education activities will be carried out. The execution of the project will be carried out by the University of Balmes Foundation and will improve the knowledge of the state of the species and its habitat in the area, in order to update and improve, if necessary, the management plans in both natural parks.

The project will begin with the location and monitoring of populations. The assessment of the ecological status of the habitat will be the next step that will continue with the adaptation and environmental improvement of the lagoon-refuge in Aiguamolls de l’Empordà and will end with the drafting of an IFNROME of the project and the dissemination of its results to work, also environmental awareness.
