Dénia has become a key cetacean observation site, largely thanks to the Marine Reserve of Cabo de San Antonio, a protected area that extends naturally from the Montgó Natural Park. Scientific studies, led by the Institut Cavanilles in collaboration with universities and conservation bodies, have been instrumental in establishing the Mediterranean Cetacean Migration Corridor, a ZEPIM (Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance). This initiative is crucial in safeguarding species like the loggerhead turtle and bottlenose dolphin, furthering Spain’s commitment to marine conservation through strategic research and sustainable management practices.
