Biri Larosa Protected Landscape and Seascape, Protected marine area in Northern Samar, Philippines.

The Biri Larosa Protected Landscape spans 33,492 hectares of marine territory, encompassing coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seven massive rock formations.

The Philippine government established this protected zone on April 23, 2000, through Proclamation No. 291 to safeguard the Balicuatro Islands ecosystem.

The Waray people consider this land sacred, connecting it to their goddess Berbinota through generations of traditional stories and beliefs.

Visitors can explore natural saltwater pools at Bel-at and Caranas, while local offices provide information about conservation activities and guided tours.

The protected area contains 23 fish species, 15 different types of mangroves, and geological formations shaped by tectonic movements over millions of years.
