| Involved
in European networking / Twinned with other site for knowledge exchange |
We

France, managed by the Conservatoire du littoral. We belong to Land
Stewardship Network of Catalonia - Xarxa de Custòdia del Territori (XCT).
DEPANA (Lliga Per A la Defensa Del Patrimoni Natural), is a member of EUROSITE. |
| Involving
local stakeholders in the management planning process - creating a local

of the area, volunteers and campings close to the natural area. |
| Promoting
the Natura Network Initiative (NNi) at the local level |
This
site makes use of the Eurosite Natura 2000 Green Days Toolkit
to provide information on Natura 2000 to visitors. |
