Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The main land use is intensive forest exploitation but the territory is fragmented among private owners. Carrying out Inappropriate forestry practices promotes soil loss (erosion problems). Allochthonous species are also found on the banks, such as pines and eucalyptus. The sediment transport negatively affects Urdabai estuary. They are also quite frequent flooding in the neighborhoods that are located in the flood plain at the mouth of the estuary. The main objective of this project is the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity and ecological status of the banks to fulfill their ecological and social functions. The project has a total budget of 300.000€ and is financed by the Consejería of Environment.
