Calvià Reaffirms Its Environmental Commitment with the Reintroduction of Sea Turtles

Calvià Town Council reaffirmed its firm environmental commitment to preserving and protecting threatened species along our coastline on Thursday, 23 July.

Against this backdrop, Deputy Mayor for the Environment Juan Thomás attended the release of ‘Nura’ at Playa de Palma, a sea turtle that was successfully treated and rehabilitated by the Palma Aquarium Foundation.

Calvià is one of the municipalities that have signed an institutional cooperation agreement with the organisation for the rescue, treatment and reintroduction of sea turtles along the Balearic coastline. As a result of this strategic partnership, the municipality’s shores have already hosted several conservation initiatives of this kind, including the release of two specimens at Magaluf Beach, one last year and another on 10 July.

During the release, Juan Thomás highlighted the excellent conditions of Calvià’s coastline, noting that “the waters in Calvià are of outstanding quality”, helping to support the recovery of marine wildlife. The Deputy Mayor also praised the joint work carried out with conservation organisations: “We are delighted with the collaboration between Calvià Town Council and Palma Aquarium, and we want it to continue over time because we believe this is what sustainability and environmental protection are all about. This governing team will therefore always support initiatives of this kind.”

He added that protecting the environment and biodiversity is a cross-cutting priority within the municipality’s management, recalling that Calvià “has the environment in its DNA” and will continue promoting initiatives aimed at preserving its natural heritage.
