The Consell Insular de Menorca has made public an open call for the design of maritime routes of the Menorca Biosphere Reserve - Tourism 0CO2 project, which is part of the Tourism Sustainability Plan of the island of Menorca (PSTD).
The object of the contract is to design a network of maritime, coastal and underwater routes that can be used for sustainable tourism activities. The aim is to bring value to Menorca's relationship with the sea, as well promoting its environmental elements and its historical and cultural heritage. The sites associated with the maritime heritage and to underwater archeology enter in this last section: coastal sites of maritime relevance (cities and port structures, structures on land but linked to maritime activity, etc.) and the underwater sites (wrecks, ports, anchorages, submerged structures, etc.)
This heritage can be underwater or on land, but everything possible must be done so that the routes are by sea, only going on shore to visit the heritage on land, thus promoting socio-economic activities around the marine environment, especially those related to tourism, sport and the use of maritime transportation (from kayaking and sailing to boats or means of any kind, as well as scuba diving). The project must contain at least one wreck, although more than one is desirable and any improvement proposal that promotes underwater activities on the island are welcome.
Submission deadline
Those interested may submit their offer to the Consell Insular from the day after its publication and until 23:59:59 on July 15th, directing it to the "Tourism Promotion Service and European Funds" of the presidency.
You will find all the information about the open call in this document.
