A haven for migratory birds and a key wetland ecosystem, Albufera Natural Park is located on the Mediterranean coast near the city of Valencia. 

 

This location is a popular tourist destination, but also an important area for agriculture and fishing. Balancing these competing demands while protecting the park's fragile ecosystem is a delicate task. 

 

JEOC investigates how Earth observation can contribute to just and sustainable management solutions in this dynamic environment.
