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.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional sustainable practices within the designated zones, following specific regulations established for resource management.

The marine reserve implements different protection levels that regulate both professional and recreational fishing activities throughout its waters.

The underwater Tagoro volcano, which emerged in 2011, created new geological formations and research opportunities for marine scientists.
