Marino Ballena National Coral Reef Park
Marino Ballena is a newly designated national coral reef park that offers snorkeling near the famous 3 sisters island and off a large natural "tombolo." The park is finalizing a new management plan in Jan. 2007 and will be working with the Reef Ball Foundation to identify Reef Ball project opportunites to protect the park's resources. Ideas being considered include informational snorkeling trails, coral reef rehabilitation and the creation of a genetic coral reserve. Reef Ball Foundation working with local Costa Rican Reef Ball representatives conducted an initial visit and meeting in Dec. 2006.
