Artificial reef for Algorrobo and Vélez-Málaga
Work is underway off the coasts of Algorrobo and Vélez-Málaga to install an artificial reef. The project, funded by the European Fisheries Fund (75%) and the Junta de Andalucía (25%), is designed to both put an end to illegal trawling in the area and to preserve valuable fisheries.
