All parties except Vox have voted in favor of this initiative to protect the underwater mountains located between Mallorca and the Pitiüses, "one of the most unique and valuable marine spaces in the western Mediterranean," according to the text of the PNL. It is a structure 275 kilometers long, with peaks reaching 94 meters in depth and habitats that extend to more than 1.2 kilometers. Les Olives, Ausiàs March, and Émile Baudot are the mountains that are part of these spaces, which host rhodolith beds (stone-shaped marine algae), corals, sponges, and deep-sea gorgonians.</p>]]></description>

This work was carried out in June by staff from the IEO's Balearic Oceanographic Center in collaboration with personnel from the oceanographic centers of Cádiz, Gijón, and Murcia, according to Europa Press. This is one of the activities planned within the framework of the Ebamar-PortoC project, which will involve the installation of the islands' new climate station.</p>]]></description>
