We need supplies so we made a stop in Ibiza, waiting for fuel in the morning and ready to restart our work out . There´s wifi signal and we take advantage to check our mails.  The Official Gazette of the Government of Spain (BOE- Boletin Oficial del Estado)  has just published the protection of the Fort d ´en Moreu and seamountains in Ausias Marc and Emile Baudot against bottom trawling. This is a great victory for OCEANA and for the Mediterranean Sea!

Now we are checking if the limits established correspond to those Oceana feels necessary to protect these areas´ vulnerable habitats. 

With this great news leaving a sweet taste in all of us, we left Ibiza behind and set off to Ses Olives
