Mojácar Council Collaborates on the “Andalucía, Seas That Taste” Campaign

Certainly! Here’s the corrected version:

As part of the environmental awareness-raising campaign for the beaches, coastline, and natural spaces launched this summer, Mojácar Council has joined the “Andalucía, Seas that Taste Good” promotional initiative carried out by the Junta’s Regional Ministry for Agriculture, Fishing, Water, and Rural Development on the whole of the Andalucía coast, which has now arrived in Mojácar. An activity that has been held successfully on the Marina de la Torre, Venta del Bancal, and Lance beaches on several days, garnering attention for the campaign, distributing promotional material, and hosting interesting workshops aimed particularly at the very youngest, although numerous adults have joined in.

Workshops aim to raise awareness about the consumption of immature fish and reject their consumption. Participants learn about the variety of species on the Almería coast, their morphology, and anatomy through real fish, as well as the dangers of the Anisakis parasite, with the possibility of observing it through a microscope. They also learn about the exciting world of algae, which are making a strong entry into our diet, as well as aquatic plants, including Posidonia, of vital importance for the Mediterranean seabed. In summary, the goal is to promote responsible fish consumption, value its importance in the diet, and warn about the need to respect minimum sizes permitted for consumption and reject the commercialization of immature fish.

With the support of Mojácar Council, bathers on Mojácar’s beaches have been able to learn from specialists in marine ecology about the reality of our environment. Sergio Alonso, Mojácar Council Environment Councillor, highlighted the relevance of these campaigns: “Environmental awareness is vital. We have to learn to consume responsibly in all spheres, but especially with marine resources,” the councillor stressed.

These days on the beaches of Mojácar, thanks to Mojácar Council, have managed to create activities, games, and raffles that help us understand sustainability better and become more sensitive to it, collaborating, alongside fishermen and all the related sectors, on the common purpose of caring for our seas.
