CAT CARE
Since last year, there has been a cat organization (APDA), their objective has been to reduce the amount of stray cats in the towns of Costa Brava.
The problem is, people on holiday come here in the summer and feed the cats, so there’s a lot of food supply so there’s no problem. But when the summer season finishes, visitors from other countries go back home leaving the cats with no food supply. Here is the problem; cats are forced to scavenge for food wherever they can find it.
APDA look after these cats, they try to take stray cats and give them a good supply of food, they also try to sterilize all the cats so then they can reduce the number of cats.

GATHERIN PACE
The black and yellow tortoise, Hermans Tortoise is the only remaining native of the Mediterranean. There’s only 7000 left, the Centre de Producció are trying to increase the number of tortoises on our native lands.
Most of them have disappeared because of the human agriculture, reducing are woods and fires that are started by humans or natural disasters.
Now they’re trying to release back to the wild were they belong to try and save the population. It’s been prohibited to take these tortoises for a pet now; this also reduced the number of our native tortoises.

INCREASE OF JELLYFISH
This year there has been a huge increase of jellyfish in our beaches in Costa Brava. People have been warned, now there’s a flag to indicate if there’s jellyfish or not on our beaches.
Luckily there not lethal to us, just by putting vinegar or urine we can take the sting away, they tell you that you should rub it in fresh water, it’ll make it worse.
The cause of the increase is caused by human activity, by the global warming that changes the temperatures in the seas and also the overfishing activities there is.
Overfishing in our seas have reduced the number of red tuna and sword fish that are the enemies of the jellyfish, because of this jellyfish now don’t have a lot of enemies so the population has grown immensely.
