The Councillor for the Environment, José Miguel Jimena, is to meet with the Department of Coasts to request the installation of artificial reefs in Nerja, specifically between the beaches of Maro and El Playazo.
The idea being proposed is to set up a barrier made up of sunken boats in order to prevent further contamination of the coastal area, preserve local marine life and promote diving as a ‘quality’ tourist pursuit.
The reefs would be located at a depth of between ten and twenty metres.
