Gastronomía del mar. Los nuevos retos de las cocinas

Resumen

The Alborán Sea is, and has historically been, a rich region for marine resources, given its biogeographicaland socio-cultural situation throughout the ages. Since immemorial times, marine living resources havebeen fundamental in the diet of coastal civilizations. With the passage of time, the exponential increase ofthe population, the nutritional virtues of marine species in the Mediterranean diet, and the popularizationof gastronomy, have led to a worrying over-exploitation of resources, which has to be controlled in orderto reach an optimal point of sustainability. The popularization of gastronomy has led public and privateinstitutions to offer training, research and innovation in this fi eld. However, there is still a long way to goin this area. In this sense, the International Campus of Excellence of the Sea (CEI • MAR), which includesa number of leading universities and research centres in Alborán area, can play an important role inthe so-called thalasso-gastronomy. At the round table, experts related to gastronomy, fi sheries, marineresources, and nutrition will respond with their particular vision to some of the relevant challenges ofmarine gastronomic innovation.
