Regional Ministry of Environment and Territorial Planning, Andalusia, Spain
Regional Ministry of Environment and Territorial Planning is the agency of the
Administration of the Junta de Andalucía (Regional Government of Andalusia),
exercising the powers conferred to the Autonomous Region of Andalusia on ag-
riculture, livestock, food processing, fishing, environment, water, land use and
urban planning (according to Presidential Decree 3/2012 of 5 May, the Vice
President and restructuring of Ministries), coupling a single body under the main
elements of territorial politics of the region, all closely linked to the landscape.
Pilot area
The area chosen for the pilot project is the Strait of Gibraltár. It has a size of
97.919 ha and it includes 4 Municipalities: Tarifa, Algeciras, Los Barrios and
Barbate, all of them belonging to the Cadiz province, in the south end of Anda-
lusia.
The pilot area can be divided in three geographical zones, very different in
terms of morphology, economy and landscape: the coast and the mountains
of the Atlantic side, the Mediterranean coast with the Bay of Algeciras and the
inland part of the “Los Barrios” Municipality. The area shows an unstable demo-
graphic trend, with a low density. The economy is in a recessive phase, affected
by unemployment. Uban areas are connected through a local road that runs in
an east-west, parallel to the coast. There isn’t any railway and the most nearby
airports are those of Seville, Malaga and Jerez.
