Dénia install an observatory and bird watching at the end of Les Rotes

February 21 from 2014 - 00: 01

With the aim of making known the species that frequent our coast, very soon the dianenses and visitors will be able to enjoy a land observatory of cetaceans and marine birds that will be installed at the end of Les Rotes, Along the restaurant Mena.

According to Councilman fishing, Sisco Signes, Geographical location and height above sea level of the place makes it the perfect location to observe the passage of seabirds or whale watching.

Birds on the coast of Dénia

To facilitate sightings, an information panel about two meters in which all these species, without being aware, are our neighbors appear to be installed.

But promotion and knowledge of our waters and the species that live there will not be limited to the observatory, since from the departments of fisheries and the environment, in collaboration with the Xaloc association for the study and conservation of the marine environment it has started an outreach project of marine environmental richness that will be developed in several phases.

Whale off the coast of Dénia

The first was the publication of a quadriptych Dénia, a window to the MediterraneanWhich by illustrations showing the species of cetaceans and sea turtles are sighted more frequently on our coasts, such as bottlenose dolphins and listed, the loggerhead turtle or fin whales. The guide also contains contact information to contact in the case of sighting, not only for help in identifying species but to contribute to the study and monitoring. The information collected will be transferred to the Biodiversity Data Bank of Valencia.

This guide, available at municipal offices, will be distributed in schools of the city taking advantage of a series of briefings to begin teaching next week as part of this project.

Looking for volunteering

As of March will begin the intensive search for fishing and marine environmental volunteer to collaborate on sightings and information gathering.

This initiative is open to everyone, and stakeholders will make a landlocked staff from the municipal marina and fishing coordination, responsible for instructing on cetacean species and birds that inhabit the environment and its characteristics.

Dolphins off the coast of Dénia

Outputs, to be held once a week from the port of Denia, also serve for the types of commercial fishing that takes place in our waters, and will include visits to small fish found during the voyage.

These actions were presented by Councilman fishing, Sisco Signes, Councilor for the Environment, Juan Carlos Signes; Juan Eymar and Carles Gago, the Xaloc association for the study and conservation of the marine environment and municipal service manager marine and fisheries coordination, Toni Martínez.
