This project follows two very important mottos for LifeWatch ERIC. The first one is "Thinking globally, acting locally", specifically acting in the Alboran Sea and the Metropolitan Area of Málaga. The second one is the use of FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). All through actions such as observing movements in the Alboran Sea and adapting municipal spaces for the exhibition and interpretation of biodiversity data in the Málaga area.
