Restoring marine biodiversity in the coastline of Tarragona is a pending task for a city with nearly 15 kilometers of coastline.

Building on this success, TecnATox proposes creating three "boxes" of approximately 200 to 250 meters in length, encompassing the coastal area beyond buoy zones. The goal is to establish regulations preventing recreational fishing and boat mooring in this space, accompanied by a plan to recover a marine ecosystem showing signs of degradation.
