Mobility plan for Ses Salines Park

Salines Natural Park in Ibiza and Formentera

Ses Salines Natural Park is a group of terrestrial and marine habitats with ecological, landscape and cultural values of the first international order. This space is a key refuge for numerous aquatic and seabirds – both during nesting season and during migrations – and is home to a great diversity of endemic species of flora and fauna.

Among its biological richness, Posidonia oceanica stands out, a marine plant declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. Likewise, the presence of the thousand-year-old salt industry provides a unique landscape and history that integrates harmoniously with the natural ecosystems, being one of the main socio-economic and tourist assets of the island.

Comprehensive Sustainable Mobility Plan

Due to the high influx of vehicles on the beaches, the Formentera Island Council —through the concessionaire company IBIFOR S.L.— manages a Mobility Plan with the following objectives:

• • Conservation: To harmonize the public use of space with the preservation of the environment.
  • Safety: Ensure smooth access for emergency vehicles and services.
  • Control: Ensure compliance with speed limits and avoid parking in unauthorized areas.

Capacity and Parking

To guarantee the sustainability of the park, a maximum load capacity has been established divided into 13 parking areas:

Places for people with reduced mobility are reserved exclusively for holders of the corresponding transport card.

Investments in Conservation

The access fee with mechanical traction vehicles is used directly for the maintenance and protection of the Park. Thanks to these contributions, the following actions are carried out:

• • Infrastructures: Repair and maintenance of the Camí de ses Illetes and Llevant, including freshwater irrigation to avoid dust.
  • Hygiene and cleaning: Daily cleaning of accesses, beaches, walkways and car parks, with a reinforcement of waste collection at noon.
  • Waste management: Installation and maintenance of recycling bins.
  • Surveillance: Hiring of janitorial staff for the Environment.
  • Awareness-raising: Dissemination campaigns to highlight the value of the Park's natural heritage.

Regulations
