Marine Biodiversity Days in the Balearic Islands

Effective protection of the Balearic Sea, the marine mammals that inhabit it, and water quality will be the three main themes of the 2nd Marine Biodiversity Conference of the Balearic Islands.

Organized by the [marilles.org/en]Marilles Foundation, these October events will once again bring together projects, actions, and organizations to turn ideas into proposals for action.

The regional government used last year’s conclusions to draft its public action plan for the conservation of sharks and rays in the Balearic Islands.
