OCIBAR, S.A., concessionaire of the marinas Port Adriano, in El Toro (Mallorca), Botafoc lbiza and Port Tarraco (Tarragona) from its concern for the environment and in accordance with the international standard ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 and the European Regulation EMAS III, wants to make some recommendations to promote its protection.

Port Adriano is located in a privileged environment between the marine reserves of El Toro and the Malgrats Islands, which have a high ecological and fishing value due to the diversity of habitats, benthic communities and marine fauna that can be found. The rocky cirque and infra-coastal bottoms are inhabited by large sedentary fish species. The meadows of the oceanic phanerogam Posidonia occupy large areas.

Our commitment to conservation and protection of the environment at sea and on the coast is based on:

• Optimising water and energy consumption.
• • Preventing pollution.
• Promoting selective waste collection.
• Controlling and reducing atmospheric and noise pollution.
• Define and ensure emergency plans.
• Comply with applicable legislation.
• Train workers in sustainability and occupational health and safety.
• Encourage proactive and positive environmental practices among users, customers and suppliers.
• Initiate such practices through events such as Plastic Day or collaborate with important associations and causes such as The SeabinProject, Fundación Palma Aquarium, Campaña Fondeo Posidonia Ayuntamiento Calvià, Mar de Fondo, Project Zero, Save the Med etc.

In 2020, Port Adriano launches the Circular Economy Project, linked to SDGs 12, 13 and 14.

Our aim is to work to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, putting in place processes to avoid food waste, promote reuse and recycling, the environmentally friendly use of chemicals, the reduction of waste generation and the reduction of marine pollution.

Port Adriano’s strategic objectives in our circular economy approach are:

• To enhance the reduction of waste generated.
• To increase the amount of waste that is recycled.
• To raise awareness of sustainability.

Seabin Project collaboration
