שמורת ים ראש הנקרה-אכזיב, Marine nature reserve in northern Israel.
The reserve extends along the Mediterranean coast, featuring limestone cliffs, caves, and marine formations created by water erosion over thousands of years.
The site received its protected status in November 2019 as part of Israel's commitment to preserving Mediterranean marine ecosystems and endangered species.
Marine biologists conduct research programs within the reserve to study various Mediterranean species, including whales, seals, and dolphins.
Visitors can explore designated hiking trails, participate in guided diving sessions, and observe marine life through organized educational programs throughout the year.
The reserve contains numerous underwater caves housing rare marine species and provides nesting grounds for sea turtles during specific seasons.
