Coral reefs are suffering the effects of climate change due to human contamination.
The response of these ecosystems to climate change is known as coral bleaching.
Oil spills affect the growth and reproduction systems of coral. This impact is damaged by the substances used after a stroke, and increasing threats and can kill them.

They were declared a nature reserve in 1980 and are included in the National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia established in 2002. In February 2007 the British newspaper The Guardian chose the beach of Rhodes, on the island of Monteagudo, as "the best beach in the world."


In 1980 the Cies islands were declared a natural park because of its high natural value of this space and the rapid deterioration that was suffering from humanas.En activities July 2002 creating the National Maritime-Terrestrial Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia, formed by a group of islands, islands and islets that are the Cies, Ons, Sálvora, Noro, Vionta, Cortegada and Malveiras. The park has a terrestrial and maritime. Cies in underwater fishing is forbidden since 1992. Since 1988 the islands have the added consideration of SPAs (Special Protection Area for Birds).

The scrub consists mainly of native species such as gorse, broom, asparagus, the spurge or rock rose. The forest is one that has undergone major changes, because native species have disappeared as a fig tree and others like the Pyrenean areas have been reduced to almost testimonials, to be replanted with pine and eucalyptus almost a quarter of the park area. Strong winds high in salts hinder, in turn, development of trees. In the area of ​​the lagoon is typical of marsh vegetation such as reeds.

A mini block of protein = 7 grams of protein net.
A mini block of fat = 3 grams of fat.

These amounts are balanced:
40% carbohydrate.
30% protein.
30% fat.

Calculation of blocks (the formula of protein)
It is estimated lean mass (fat-free weight).
This value is multiplied by the factor of activity.
The result is divided by 7.
