The biological productivity of this area allows for the existence of an extraordinary biodiversity, characterised by the regular presence of numerous species of cetaceans, including an important population of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), a species included in the Habitats Directive and the Natural Heritage and Biodiversity Law. The porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), an Annex II species, is also present in the waters of the Western Strait.  <\/p>\n<p>The Strait is also a key place for the conservation of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), a priority species in Annex II, whose populations frequent the area or use it as a corridor on their migratory journeys between spawning and feeding sites. Other species of cetaceans that are usually present in the area or use it in their migratory transits are the killer whale (Orcinus orca), the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis), the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), the pilot whale (Globicephala melas), the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) and the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), all of which are included in Annex IV of the Law. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97857058","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Environment proposes the Western Strait as a Site of Community Importance of the Natura 2000 Network - Fundaci\u00f3n Biodiversidad<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fundacion-biodiversidad.es\/en\/actualidad_home\/environment-proposes-the-western-strait-as-a-site-of-community-importance-of-the-natura-2000-network\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Environment proposes the Western Strait as a Site of Community Importance of the Natura 2000 Network - Fundaci\u00f3n Biodiversidad\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Ministry of the Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs (MARM) proposes the &#8220;Western Strait&#8221;
