The terrestrial section protects one of Ecuador's last intact stretches of coastal dry forest and tropical moist forest on the Manta-Portoviejo coast, harboring howler monkeys, sea turtles, and over 200 bird species. The marine zone provides feeding grounds for humpback whales during their June-October migration season.
