Mar de Las Calmas, Marine conservation area in El Pinar, Spain.
The Mar de Las Calmas extends along the southwestern coast of El Hierro island, covering 9,898 hectares of protected marine environment.
The Spanish Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries designated Mar de Las Calmas as a Site of Community Importance to preserve its marine ecosystems.
