Jewels of the Isle Richness and importance of Pitiuses waters highlighted in new Department of the Environment publication. 15 rare and protected ‘Jewels’ listed for special attention.
Balearic Sea waters are home to a biological richness of the highest order and some proof of this is in the 50 protected species to be found around our coast, including marine plants, fish, molluscs,
echinoderms (spiny skinned sea creatures such as Starfish) and mammals. The Department of the Environment has published a list of the fifteen most important and most threatened to raise awareness about the need to preserve these species. It also calls on the public to contact the Species Protection Service if finding injured or dead animals on the list, by calling 971 784 956 or by contacting especies@dgcapea.caib.es.
