Hluleka Marine Protected Area, Marine protected area near Port St. Johns, South Africa.
The Hluleka Marine Protected Area spans 40.86 square kilometers along the Eastern Cape coastline, extending 3.7 kilometers along the shore and 10.8 kilometers into the sea.
The Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism established this marine conservation zone in December 2000 under the Marine Living Resources Act of 1998.
