Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area
Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area, Marine protected area in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa.
The protected area spans 1,200 square kilometers of marine ecosystems, including sandy beaches, rocky shores, reefs, and islands in Algoa Bay.
Established in 2019, this marine reserve expanded from the original Bird Island Protected Area of 2013 to safeguard marine life along South Africa's coast.
The reserve transforms Addo Elephant National Park's Big Five into Big Seven by incorporating marine species for nature education and conservation awareness.
Visitors need permits for activities such as scientific research, scuba diving, and recreational angling within the designated zones of the protected area.
The reserve protects breeding grounds for 9,000 pairs of African penguins at St Croix Island and 60,000 pairs of Cape gannets at Bird Island.
