management of the Marine Area
LIC of the Marina Alta. They
agreed that the zone of the coast
of the region “has so many uses
that it needs to have all the agents
involved. The process to obtain the
basis for the management of the
LIC will not be simple. Municipal
sources stressed that “we must
try to agree on the preferences
and interests of each of the
sectors involved.” The seed of this
initiative was planted in one of the
conferences of the Xàbia Forum.

Xàbia Town Hall will reforest
small areas of the Granadella
with indigenous trees which
are more resistant to fire
This week begins a new phase in
the forest recovery project in the
public forest of Granadella, which
was affected by a serious fire in
September 2016 that burned 812
hectares.
Following a similar plan to
that which has already been
implemented in La Plana, from
the municipal Department of
the Environment has chosen
to facilitate conditions which
favour natural regeneration in
most of the soil and to repopulate
small specific areas with native
species which are more resistant
to fire such as carob or wild olive
trees, thus restoring the agrarian
landscape.
This activity will now take place
due to the optimal conditions of
the land following the recent rains
and in parallel with the latest forest
recovery and fire prevention work
coordinated by the municipality,
which will last until summer.
These works were initiated by the
Town Council a few days after the
fire and have involved the Regional
Department of Agriculture, the
Provincial Council of Alicante and
the Ministry of Agriculture.
