[edit] Marine total area

As per the official Spanish Marine Reservations website, the marine tract of the reservation covers 4,613 has. (see external link), not 12,000 as stated. However, it may have been enlarged and the info on that page become outdated. Mountolive 03:09, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

My mistake: I rechecked and, actually 4,613 has. are protected as a marine-only reserve, while some 8,000 are protected as the marine tract of the Natural Park itself (which is both terrestrial and marine). In other words, there is a total of 12,000 has of marine protected area, under two different concepts but this is the correct figure anyway. Mountolive 05:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
