Open air Photography Exhibition: Salobrena Marine Life, “Enjoy & Protect”.

December 6th, 7th and 8th 2013 at various locations in Salobreña, viewing: 11:00h to 15:00h.

Visitors will also have a chance to take part in a raffle where the prize is “Scuba diving baptism.” .

Friday 6th and Sunday 8th: along the Salobreña Seafront. Playa del Peñón, up to the Civil Protection post. Saturday 7th: Parque de la Fuente. Av Mediterranean.

This exhibition aims to show a small selection of the underwater flora and fauna that can be found on the seabed off Salobreña beach; a diverse, rich and unspoilt natural environment.

These photographs were taken at depths of between six and 15 meters near the area of La Caleta cliffs, and between three and seven meters depth around El Peñón. The other images belong to the reef areas of Salobreña.

It’s easy to appreciate this natural space and we’re privileged to be able to share in its beauty; but it is also a very delicate environment; one that we must preserve, say the photo exhibition organisers.

Unfortunately, we often find rubbish and solid waste that have been thrown away into the sea. Actions such as these are not only threatening biodiversity but are also affecting the natural beauty of our Mediterranean.

The organisers hope that this exhibition will draw attention to the increased need for balance and harmony in this fragile place; a place that we all share and have responsibility for.
