In these islands a the most important community of seabirds that make nest of the entire province of Almeria. Birdwatchers are fascinated by the spectacle offered by these islands, where the yellow-legged gull, the swift, the European storm petrel and the Scopoli's shearwater call home.

The seabed of Negra and Terreros Islands is incredible. The islands stand out for their Posidonia oceanica meadows, which offer shelter and food to multiple crustaceans, fish, invertebrates, cephalopods, etc.
