Volcanoes forged the rocky coast of Cabo de Gata in southeast Spain. But the tides blanket it with reef-like structures built by snails. An algine marine biologist Diego Moreno says this sea of life can be deadly.

Filth and contaminants accumulate on the surface. So I need black tide, I need all this peel, or soref will give the nails an allergy-forming then.

Mediterranean countries have joined to preserve the diversity and uniqueness of more than a hundred endangered species in their waters by setting up “SPAMIs”, Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance. Mediterranean waters, nearly enclosed by land, are a favorite of migrating species looking for food and refuge. But increased contamination has endangered the Mediterranean sanctuary of this precious legal system and threatened to make traditional fishing obsolete.

Here in the outer limits of the reserve, we got a thermo-electrical plant turning out water into the sea at temperatures five degrees warmer and that's slows the area’s reproductive recycle.

A sour smell in the air leads to another man-made run-off from a fish factory, a target of the SPAMI program .A model of how conservation can work lies beneath the sea of plastic neighboring Cabo de Gata. The irrigation for these crops is recycled water channeled out to air the greenhouses. Urban waste water from the nearby city of Almeria now feeds one of year’s most productive farm regions.

There are a few particles but before it was a huge yellow stain. We can see the swift water because we are in shallow waters only forty feet, but that’s not really contamination here.

That's helping the sea grass, vital to more than a thousand animal and plant species along the Mediterranean coast.

Human pollution and destruction on the coast have wiped out in areas. That's why this premier evolution of places like * is so important.

Life latches onto anything that will hold it and in these troubled Mediterranean waters, life can use all the protection it can get
