About Santa Clara
Santa Clara Marine Reserve encompasses the waters surrounding Isla Santa Clara and its islets at the entrance of the Gulf of Guayaquil, extending two nautical miles around the island. The marine zone protects nutrient-rich upwelling waters that support one of the most productive marine areas on Ecuador's continental coast. The reserve complements the existing Isla Santa Clara Wildlife Refuge by protecting the surrounding marine environment critical for seabirds, sea lions, and migrating marine species.
