Ballena Marine National Park
Located just south of the coastal community
of Dominical, Ballena National Marine Park
protects a varity of natural habitats, such
as sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, cliffs,
islands, rocky reefs, the Punta Uvita tombolo
and a coral reef that are a major breeding
ground for the countless marine species.
The
coral reef found here is one of the most important
natural attractions of the area. The reef
is porous-approximately 50% of it is empty
spaces-enabling a wide range of species to
inhabit it. Five species of coral, plus several
varieties of seaweeds, marine invertebrates
and fishes are identified to date. The area
also supports several species of reptiles,
mammals and birds. |
