THE RICHEST SEA IN EUROPE

THE RICHEST SEA IN EUROPE

The Biodiversity of the Western Coast of Malaga between Calaburra and Sotogrande

Sometimes in life we must be humble and highlight work done by other groups that in our opinion should be supported and praised without further comment. Such is the case of this book, given to our Association to publicise on our website.

The content is so scientific, so explicit that it doesn’t need anything more said about it, just that it is an immense pleasure to be able to bring this magnificent work to your attention. It was put together over a number of hours, days, weeks, months and years by many tireless co-workers, who together accomplished this ambitious project.

It is a pleasure to thank Dr. Enrique García Raso, Professor of Zoology at the UMA and Dr. Carmen Salas Casanova, Professor of Biology at the UMA who have kindly spent time with us to let us explain our plans to them of installing artificial reefs along the coastline to protect the dunes. These will help stabilize the beaches and create new marine ecosystems. We would also like to thank all the other authors for the work they did in putting this interesting and instructive book together.
