 In collaboration with the ecologist movement Ben Magec “Ecologistas in Acción” and the Town hall of Arona, CABOcanarias invites you to participate in the campaign to control the lime sea urchin Diadema Antilarum, which will take place on Sunday 26th of July 2009 on the Yellow Mountain dive site.
We will organize a diving to eliminate the lime sea urchins from the area, which will support the recovery of the underwater ecosystem. The appointment is at 10am at the swimming pool La Bellena from TenBel, Costa del Silencio. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
 This eradication campaign belongs to the project of micro marine reserve carried out by the confederation “Ecologistas in Acción”. To know more about the project presented to the authorities, you can  download the document in Spanish here. 5.84 Mb
The idea is to declare the Yellow Mountain bay as a « ZONA DE ACONDICIONAMIENTO MARINO », which will prohibit fishing and fish feeding inside its limits. Some points of anchorage are foreseen to limit the dive boat impact on the underwater realm and a maximum number of diver will be imposed per day and per year. Once the decree will be voted, we all will be able to benefit from a unique dive site in Tenerife. A project without precedent, which will be used as a basis of work to establish a network of micro marine reserve on other dive sites around Tenerife.
