Islas e Islotes del Mar Mediterráneo
Islas e Islotes del Mar Mediterráneo, Protected archipelago in Region of Murcia, Spain
The Mediterranean coastal islands comprise 18 small islands and rocky islets spanning from Águilas to La Manga del Mar Menor, covering 42 hectares.
The military presence on several islands throughout history contributed to the preservation of native ecosystems and endemic species until their protection in 2019.
The islands serve as critical nesting grounds for various seabirds, including European Storm Petrels, Audouin's Gulls, and Cory's Shearwaters in the Mediterranean region.
The protected area maintains information points through dedicated phone numbers, providing details about access regulations and environmental characteristics of the archipelago.
Four distinct habitat types listed in the European Habitats Directive support rare Ibero-African plant species like Periploca angustifolia and Caralluma europaea.
