Tourism



The growth of tourism on the island, especially in the ocean area, is affecting some of the outstanding natural characteristics of the scenery, ecosystems and marine organisms. The physical contact of the tourist-divers with marine organisms, the destruction of the bottom of the sea by incorrect anchoring, the extraction of biological materials, the production of liquid and solid waste, which are not correctly managed, are some of the threats that tourism produces. Appropriate regulations are lacking for the use of the area as a tourist site.
