Have you heard of noble pen shells? They are the largest mollusk in the Mediterranean and the second largest on the planet, and can exceed a meter in length. It is an emblematic species as it can only be found in the Mediterranean. However, its drastic reduction due to a parasite has led scientists to declare it in danger of extinction.<\/p>\n

On this outing we will visit the Trabucador area accompanied by guides from the Barcelona Zoo to find out about the problem of the mother-of-pearl in the Delta: p<\/strong>ut on your swimsuit or wetsuit (if you have one), grab a pair of diving or swimming goggles, and get ready for an unforgettable experience!<\/strong><\/p>\n
