The Environment section of the Department of Urban Agenda has promoted the initiative. Susi Ibanez is the manager of this initiative.

We want to make sure that children and the public are aware of this important species, which is unique in the Mediterranean Sea. It becomes an area of oxygen production and breeding as well as refuge for many species. “, said.
