Project Areas

Ebre river, the biggest river in the Iberian peninsula in terms of discharge volume (18.217 HM3/year), bathes a sixth part of Iberian peninsula surface (88.835 km2) and forms the fourth largest delta in the Mediterranean area (350km2). It is worth mentioning its great value for humanity due to its availability of fresh water and fertile land, and its great richness in flora (endangered taxa such as Limonium densissimum and Limonium giberti) and also in icthyological fauna (with endemic species such as Spanish toothcarp and Valencia toothcarp) and ornithological (with more than 56.000 nesting couples of waders, ardeid birds, anatidae, gulls, etc..)

In particular, the project area is the final stretch of Ebre River (from Flix to the mouth), Ebre Delta and the Delta sea coastline.
