The Gulf of Nicoya harbors 20 mangroves covering 112 km of shore line, representing around 15.400 ha. 50% of it is protected as Wildlife Reserves (category II UICN). In the internal part of the gulf there is probably the most important extension of L. racemosa present in the country.

Improve management planning, representation and ecological integrity of coastal and marine biodiversity and incorporate new and expanded MPA's with mangrove cover using the ecosystem approach.
