La vida marina es una de las más importantes en Fuerteventura.
El Dorado, la Breca o el Mero abundan en las aguas de Fuerteventura.
Mientras que en las playas rocosas encontraremos caracoles de mar, lapas, mejillones majoreros o cangrejo rojo, una especie de cangrejo común en esta zona del Atlántico.
La cabra majorera es quizás el mamífero más destacado de la isla y es un símbolo de Fuerteventura.
El camello y el burro majorero también encuentran su hogar en Fuerteventura.
En tiempos pasados se utilizaban para cargar y transportar materiales.
Este hecho hace que en la actualidad el número de especies haya disminuido.
Para la conservación de los burros, se creó la asociación SOO Grupo para la Conservación y Promoción del Burro Majorero.
Finalmente, hablaremos del perro bardino majorero, una raza autóctona de Fuerteventura.

Fuerteventura is an excellent place for Snorkeling and Scuba Diving.
The warm semi tropical seas support a array of sea life.
The main fishing industry was supported by shellfish and crustations and other species like Tuna Dorada, Mullet, Barracuda, Parrot fish and various other edible varieties.
Barracuda Sardines However the biggest bounty was during the Sardine season from September – March where they would be caught by the million.
These fish supported whole communities and was an extremely important resource for the locals.
Every year the final event of the Carnival is the funeral of the Sardine.
Fuerteventura has sea life that can be classified into around 390 species of fish which are grouped into 117 families.
The crustaceans are represented by a whole multitude of species.

El clima de Fuerteventura es muy árido debido a su baja altitud y a la falta de lluvias.
La isla tiene una flora y fauna adaptadas a las condiciones semi-desérticas, con especies como el Saltbrush y el Tabayba.
La actividad agrícola ha disminuido en la isla, lo que ha permitido una lenta recuperación de su estado natural.
Sin embargo, la desertificación sigue siendo un problema en la isla.
La fauna de la isla incluye mamíferos introducidos como el esguilo de tierra de Barbary y el erizo de Barbary.
También se encuentran reptiles como el gecko y la lagartija atlántica, y aves como el bustardo de Houbara y el cuervo de piedra.
La isla es importante para la vida marina, con especies como el tiburón martillo, el pez payaso y el atún.
Los waters autour de la isla son también importantes para las ballenas y los delfines.
La contaminación acústica por sonar ha sido un problema para la vida marina en la isla.

A hawksbill turtle, one of the marine turtle species found in the Canary Islands
Five species of marine turtle are present in the archipelago: the loggerhead (the most common species), green, hawksbill, leatherback, and Kemp's ridley turtle.
The lime urchin, rapidly becoming overabundant in the Canary Islands due to fishing of its natural predators.
By far the most commonly seen invertebrate in Canary Island waters, the lime urchin is an important herbivore.
Populations of these creatures have increased rapidly within recent years, primarily due to overfishing of their natural predators, such as starfish, triggerfish and Triton's trumpet.
Tenerife and Gran Canaria are one of the few remaining locations with a substantial population of angelsharks.
The basking shark, a harmless plankton feeder, visits the island in large groups during the winter, but is rarely seen.
The common smooth-hound comes close to shore in the late summer to breed, but is too small to be dangerous to humans.
The hammerhead shark (Sphyrna zygaena) is another fish eater, and is sometimes encountered while fishing.
