DE A unique exhibition, called ‘El Veril’, has brought together the Canarian species that inhabit Poema del Mar.
The Gran Canaria aqua-rium took advantage of the Canary Islands Day to attract attention to the beauty and the spectacular nature of the species of the islands.
This particular aquarium, which takes the form of a kind of enveloping vault, will evoke in visitors the impression of almost being able to touch an ecosystem that is very difficult to observe in nature, and to discover the characteristic features of the species that inhabit the waters of the Canaries.
Among these species stands out a very special one, the ‘pejeperro’ (Bodianus scrofa), a fish that becomes the standard bearer of the representative species of the Canary Islands in this space for biodiversity, and which is in a vulnerable and protected situation in the List Red Sea Fauna of the Canary Islands.
This animal appears in the work of the Gran Canarian painter Néstor de la Torre and has been chosen to represent the Poema del Mar logo next to the Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas), an animal that, although not autochthonous, has been seen on some occasions by the waters of the archipelago.
‘Poema del Mar’, which has emerged as one of the most modern aquariums on the planet, has a firm commitment to innovation, the conservation of biodiversity and excellence in sustainable tourism. The authorities of the Canary Islands consider it “of strategic interest for the region”, which reinf-orces the promotion of Gran Canaria, and of the entire archipelago, as one of the best tourist destinations on an international scale.
