Cabo Pulmo encompasses the largest coral reef in the Gulf of California, which is home, both temporary and permanent, to a wide span of marine species. Many of these are subject to some kind of protection under Mexican law.

A Natural Protected Area (NPA) since 1995, it aims to preserve and maintain the ecological processes that depend on the reef. The community, as well as civil society organizations, scholars and the Federal Government, work hand in hand to achieve this goal.

As a result of its outstanding recovery, Cabo Pulmo covers the biggest �sh biomass in the Gulf of California; this situation has granted the Park national and worldwide recognition, as well as several acknowledgements, such as its inclusion in the list of UNES-CO’s Natural World Heritage Sites, it is considered as one of the Islands and Protected Areas in the Gulf of California and its inclu-sion in the RAMSAR Convention on Wetlands.

The National Commission for Protected Natural Areas (CONANP) aims to preserve its natural capital through the e�ective application of its Management Program. This tool was created by members of di�erent sectors and it establishes the strategies, activities and actions to protect, preserve, restore and use sustainably the available resources.

This summary seeks to communicate the regulations of the Management Program in a simple way, with the hope that it makes them easier to follow and therefore improve the compliance of the Park’s users and visitors.

INTRODUCTION

Cabo Pulmo National Park is located o� the coast of the munici-pality of Los Cabos, in Baja California Sur, and it is the only coral reef ecosystem in the Gulf of California, as well as one of the oldest in the East Paci�c. Its purpose is to preserve the reef ecosystem and its related habitats, the ecological processes that take place there and to promote the uses that are compatible with its conservation.

It was decreed as Natural Protected Area on June 6, 1995, as a National Marine Park; later, on June 7, 2000, it was categorized as a National Park. The region it is located in contains a rich biodiversity, a result of the convergence of di�erent biogeographical provinces. As a result, the region is home to several species that vary from invertebrates to �sh, whales, turtles and birds; many of these are subject to some kind of protection under Mexican law.

The Management Program of this NPA was published in 2009 and it was developed under a frame of high consensus. This docu-ment includes the subzoning, the main allowed and forbidden activities and the most relevant regulations applicable in the area, established in the decree and the Management Program.

Get to know the Management Program and follow its regulations. If we all do, we will get to preserve the

richness of the Park for generations to come.

ZONING

PRESERVATION SUBZONE

The Park’s total surface is of 7,111 hectares, out of which 99% are maritime and the remaining 1% is made up of the federal land-sea zone.

The following subzones were determined taking into account the need of managing adequately the resources of the Natural Protected Area and their biotic characteristics, as well as the environmental issues and several di�erent activities that take place inside the Park’s polygon:

Preservation SubzoneSustainable Use of Natural Resources SubzonePublic Use Subzone

This subzone makes up around 35% of the Park. It aims to preserve the coral reef and the nesting, feeding and resting sites for protected species such as turtles and sea lions, by regulating the activities to assure they do not cause any ecological imbalance.

It is divided into:

It comprises a surface of 4,557.37 hectares in the maritime subzone of the Park, where it is possible to develop sustainable activities, such as �shing for self-consumption and low-impact tourism. There are resources in this area that are critical for the maintenance of the environmental services and that can be used without harming the ecosystem, modifying the landscape or causing irreversible damage to the elements there present.
