The Issue

Save the biodiversity of Ponta de São Lourenço by extending the marine reserve. Overfishing, especially in the south coast of the area, is generating a progressive desertification of the seabed. Among the others, dolphins, whales and monk seals are endangered. 

Promote Ponta de São Lourenço biological richness for recreational diving and educational programs can generate "Green Tourism" and work possibilities for all residents in the area and save this stunning ecosystem.

No more fishing cages! Help us!
