El Mayor of Xàbia, José Chulvi, has presented the project for the recovery of the Osprey in the Marina Alta where Xàbia will be the starting point. A project that aims to recover this species in the natural parks of Montgó and Marjal de Pego.

Chulvi has reported that it is an interesting project, "It goes within the line we are working on, positioning ourselves in a destination and a sustainable environment, we cannot live with our backs to the Environment""In addition, the first mayor of Xabiero remarked that it is an initiative of the Natural Park Montgó which has the collaboration of the municipalities involved (Dénia, Pego and Oliva).

For its part, the director of the park, Joseba Rodríguez, said that the municipalities have paid for the feasibility study of the introduction of the osprey, "and the introduction in the two natural parks of the area, the Montgó and the Marjal Pego-Oliva, is planned. The Generalitat is committed to give economic continuity to the project that will last between 4 and 5 years."

The president of the Parc Natural del Montgó, Joan Sala, explained that at present, the Fish Eagle is raised in the Balearics, Corsica, Morocco and Algeria, "So it is a good time to introduce it since we also have the support of the park and the marine reserve."

To carry out this initiative, artificial platforms will be installed in the area of ​​the former barracks of Carabineros to encourage them to raise, "That the eagles believe they were born here and, following the custom of their species, return in a few years to nest and raise", explained those responsible. In addition, they added that this area has been chosen so that they have an easy flight to the cliffs of the Cap de Sant Antoni, where it is expected that they can fish and feed once they are autonomous.

In total, ten pairs of eagles will be introduced between Pego and El Montgó. The brotherhoods of Dénia and Xàbia will collaborate with the fish, all the specimens will be ringed and some will have GPS, at the end of August they will migrate to West Africa and only the males return to the breeding area.

Finally, Itziar Colodro, from the tourism company in nature, Magic & Nature, said that the primary objective is to value the natural heritage, Social Benefit, Quality and Sustainable Tourism and the Action Plan with the impulse of Ornithological Tourism in the Valencian Community. The osprey has a life between 25 and 30 years and is reproduced from the fourth year.
