Mar de las Calmas located south-west of the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands, with an area of 9,898.43 hectares and which bathes the coast of the municipality of El Pinar will be pioneering thanks to its totally marine condition becoming soon the first National Marine Park of Spain.
More than a thousand kilometers from the Iberian Peninsula this area has become one of the most important ecosystems in Europe and now the Mar de las Calmas with this achievement will also has the aim of preserving biodiversity and promoting it on the island of El Hierro.
This area of sea obeys a confluence of oceanographic circumstances unlike other stretches of coast surrounding the Canary Island where the sea is usually quite rough and difficult to navigate.
The Council of Ministers has already given the green light to the proposal to declare this area of over 24,000 hectares a national park.
Although the process is in its early stages it is shaping up to be a historic achievement for Spain, so much so that WWF, together with the Ministry for Ecological Transition and MITECO have committed themselves to promoting the initiative.
