The Spanish coast is an ecosystem that has suffered serious disruptions, resulting in irreversible loss of natural landscape and traditional as well as plant and animal species.
In many regions the damage was still being produced, to which must be added the impact of global issues like climate change.
This project has received the accession of many initiatives and organizations.
