Ebro river Delta. Part 1

Synopsis

On the North-East coast of Spain, the Mediterranean Sea collects the waters of the River Ebro, which has the greatest volume of water in the entire Iberian Peninsular. Each year, the river transports thousands of tonnes of alluvial soil to the estuary. Over centuries, this process has led to the gradual loss of ground by the sea, transforming the original estuary into a delta. This delta is strategically located at a midpoint on the migratory routes of European birds, making it a vital habitat for various species. The documentary highlights the ecological significance of the Ebro River Delta and its role in supporting biodiversity in the region.
