We know that Denia is a window to the Mediterranean, and by extension, its rich flora and fauna. But since June, sightings of cetaceans in our waters no longer a privilege to become a daily opportunity to see several species even from the coast.
The most outstanding and unique on the Levante coast, is the whale pass of the common Rorcual species, the second largest in the world, between the months of May to September. In fact, 2016 has recorded 54 examples of fin whales off the coast of Dénia and more than 200 dolphins, so Dénia is becoming a benchmark for whale watching, a point of attraction for researchers and also, for tourists and visitors.
Data obtained from the report by the surveillance of the marine reserve of Cap de Sant Antoni, carried out jointly by the City Council and the Department of Environment, whose findings have been explained by Councilman Environment of the City Council Denia, Josep CrespoAnd Toni Martí Martínez, Environmental Coordinator Marine and Fisheries.
It becomes necessary a new beacon and more buoys of anchoring in the Reserve
Over the past year 693 boats that sailed over the 6 allowed knots in the area, a figure that far exceeds that recorded in 2014 intersected. Many of these violations are rooted in ignorance of users about what are the boundaries of the reserve, so Crespo has asked the Department of Environment which Balice back the outer perimeter of the protected area, disappeared because of temporary in 2011, and so moved to the regional representatives who attended the monitoring committee of the marine reserve held in late June.
The security service also intersected 172 watercraft sailing at high speed and very near the coast, endangering bathers, a number that also exceeds 2014 figures.
Undue moorings in the area amounted to 119. In this regard, the council has indicated that further funding trains with ecological reserves anchorage in the -Appearance also discussed in the Commission, especially in the area of Aiguadolç.
Another aspect to improve, according to the mayor, are the permits for scuba dives controlled in the area of the reserve, as the administrative processing of these permits is very expensive and the number of daily permits very restricted, so They do not respond to the demands of diving clubs and many other stakeholders.
Finally, last year the surveillance intervened in cases 17 rescue boats, 5 cases of rescue and evacuation to injured persons on the cliffs and attended 33 ads by poaching.
