Contributing in the protection
The conservation and protection of the endangered species and their habitats depends on visitor’s behavior and therefore it is important during your stay in the Protected Area of the N.MP.Z.:
-
Collect your litter and do not start a fire or camp
-
In case you meet an endangered-protected species keep a distance of at least 15 meters
-
At nesting beaches enjoy the sea and sun from 7.00 am staying at a maximum of 5 meters from the waterline. At sunset, please leave the beach to the sea turtles
You are kindly requested to follow instructions given by N.M.P.Z.’s Park Rangers
