The area located to the north of the Asturian coast is home to a great wealth of biodiversity with vulnerable species, such as corals and sponges.
\n<\/p>\n

The third oceanographic campaign of the LIFE IP INTEMARES<\/a> project has studied the seabed of the Avil\u00e9s canyon, an area located to the north of the Asturian coast, which is home to a great wealth of biodiversity with vulnerable species, such as corals and sponges.<\/p>\n

In this new expedition, researchers from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography have collected data that will contribute to improving scientific knowledge on the effects of bottom fishing activities<\/strong> on habitats in this marine area of the Natura 2000 Network. The information obtained will be used to develop the future management plan for the area, based on a solid scientific basis. <\/p>\n

This study complements the research carried out within the framework of the previous LIFE + INDEMARES<\/a> project (2009-2014), in which the Avil\u00e9s canyon was explored, together with El Corviro and La Gaviera, a system of underwater canyons in which more than 1,300 marine species have been inventoried.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On this occasion, the continental shelf located in front of Cabo Pe\u00f1as has been studied, an area with a large rocky surface where the presence of bottom habitats formed by the hexacoral Dendrophyllia cornigera<\/em> and the sponge Phakellia spp<\/em><\/strong>. was detected during the LIFE+ INDEMARES project. In the current campaign, large areas with the presence of these species have been found.   <\/p>\n

Researchers have explored various areas of this area with cutting-edge technology. The data collected will be analysed in the coming months<\/strong> to assess the interactions of fishing gear such as longline and gillnet with habitats in this area.<\/p>\n

This study is part of the action of the LIFE IP INTEMARES project aimed at diagnosing the impact of human activities and climate change on the marine Natura 2000 Network<\/strong> and proposing measures to control, eliminate and mitigate its effects.<\/p>\n

The<\/strong>Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition<\/strong> coordinates this project, in which the General Directorate of Sustainability of the Coast and the Sea of the ministry itself, the IEO, the Spanish Fisheries Confederation, SEO\/BirdLife and WWF-Spain participate as partners. It has the financial contribution of the European Union’s LIFE programme, among other sources of funding. <\/p>\n
