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. |
