The European Union ‘LIFE’ Program: BIOXISOIL

The so-called "LIFE Program" is an EU instrument designed to contribute to sustainable development as regards climate and environmental issues.

The Spanish Navy participates in the BIOXISOIL project (LIFE 11 ENV/ES 505) which will permit to decontaminate the soil of the oil refinery plant located in the Cadiz Bay. This BIOXISOIL project is a European Union scheme intended to warrant the sustainability of eroded areas by cleaning and restoring the damaged soil.
