Its depth ranges from 4\u201316 meters. The area stretches in front of a sandy beach, with the Masia Blanca stream running through it, and is a very important tourist attraction for the area. Dunes created by the blowing wind appear among the coastal constructions. These fixed dunes have been colonized by plants that form a complete plant community very typical of sand substrata.<\/p>\n
At sea, as well as on land, the relief offers protection to many species and promotes increased biodiversity. The Masia Blanca marine reserve, which was created in order to protect the rough seabed\u2014exceptional in an area dominated by sand and mud\u2014is located across from the beaches of El Vendrell, next to the port of Coma- ruga.
\nThese rough seabeds are made up of barriers of biological origin (coralline communities), running perpendicular to the coast, between a sandy seabed and another long barrier that runs parallel to the shoreline and is located in the deepest part of the marine reserve. Underwater forests abound\u2014made up of an aquatic plant endemic to the Mediterranean, Posidonia oceanica\u2014while forming a labyrinth rich in species of invertebrates (octopuses, cuttlefish, mother of pearl, etc.) and vertebrates (red mullets, groupers, bream and bass, among others).
\nThis submarine relief has favoured the establishment of different fauna that are interspersed, creating great biological biodiversity.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/elvendrellturisme.dms3labs.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/reserva-marina-el-vendrell.jpg” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”55vh” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]
