EUROPEAN DAY LET’S TAKE CARE OF THE COAST

CoastWatch Europe (CWE) is a network which collects data on the environmental condition of Europe’s coastline. It is supported by the participating countries.

In Andalucia the data is collected by schools, Associations and volunteers who inspect sections of the coast and determine several parameters which indicate their environmental status.

Our Asociacion Pro-Dunas will inspect the coast between Los Monteros and Rio Real. The sea-water is tested for Nitrates and Streptococcus and the results are used to produce statistics for inclusion in the European databank. The main purpose of this activity is to increase general awareness of marine environmental issues.
