The Marine Park is a true oasis of marine life. In just 53 km2, more than 2000 marine species have already been found, highlighting the unique character of these waters. The environmental and geographical conditions of the Marine Park allow for the existence of different types of habitats, some of which are preferred places for the reproduction, feeding and refuge of many species. Species of high commercial value spend important stages of their life cycle here, so the biodiversity of the Marine Park is also a source of livelihood for fishing, marking the identity of local communities.
