MORE than 50 endangered species have been found living in the Alboran Sea between Almeria and North Africa. A total of 1,645 species were identified by investigators, who found 10 that were new to them.
Alboran also plays an important part in the reproductive cycle of common species, many of which are important to the fishing sector. Others considered rare in other parts of the Mediterranean are relatively common in Alboran, making the area especially valuable for the conservation and protection of the varied wildlife it supports, Spain’s Biodiversity Foundation said.
