Management of MónNatura Delta de l'Ebre

Grup Transversal was commissioned by Fundació Catalunya Caixa (now Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera) to draw up a global management project for a new centre located on the site of a former fish farm, next to the lagoon known as Llacuna de la Tancada, in the Ebro Delta. The centre, managed by Transversal, opened its doors in April 2012.

This facility, which was designed and produced by Grup Transversal, has a reception area and shop to welcome, inform and attend to visitors; the saltworks, where a space has been recreated, to scale, to explain what the saltworks are and their purpose; the Delta space to experience the essence of the Delta; the Mirador 360º building to admire the vast area of the Delta and the birds of the lagoon, with three classrooms; the Aguait, from where visitors can observe the fauna of the old saltworks of Sant Antoni; and the jetty, where they can enjoy a trip on a traditional raft. Transversal is in charge of the complete management of the facility and attention to the public, visitor reception, educational service, etc.

The centre offers guided tours, family activities and workshops, as well as a full programme of educational activities. The educational project has also been developed by Transversal, together with the Foundation’s Territory and Environment department. The educational activities revolve around three main themes, which form part of the MónNatura Delta project: birds, salt and fishing, and are aimed at pupils from the second cycle of Infant Education to Baccalaureate and Vocational Training. Grup Transversal is also responsible for the commercialisation and promotion of the facility.
