The Creamar Mijas group, in collaboration with the Mijas Town Hall, carried out an educational and diagnostic tour of the coastline along the intertidal ecosystem located between El Bombo and Torrenueva beaches on Saturday, 24th. The environmental technician from the Mijas Town Hall, Juan Luis Vega, was responsible for showcasing the marine and coastal biodiversity of the area, where a wide variety of algae and molluscs can be found, including two specimens of 'patella ferruginea', an endangered and protected species of limpet.
Among the different activities, a debate was also held on the prohibitions that protect these spaces and how volunteers can get involved through citizen surveillance systems. Members of the Creamar group also installed QR codes along the route, which provide environmental information and help raise awareness about the importance of the intertidal zone and its conservation. Alongside the development of the itinerary and the coastal diagnostic, recordings were made to produce a video that will be used as an educational tool for St. John's Eve (Noche de San Juan), highlighting the role of environmental volunteering in the protection of our coastline.
