PuertAlMar: reducing the carbon footprint of the port of Vigo

Biodiversity

PuertAlMar, which translates as "gateway to the sea", is a project that shows how human activities and thriving biodiversity can coexist in ports. It also shows how the carbon footprint of ports can be reduced. Located in the port of Vigo, on Spain’s Atlantic coast, this EU-funded project was carried out by the Autoridad Portuaria de Vigo - the Port Authority of Vigo - and the University of Vigo. It has produced very good results that can be replicated in other ports.
