The Canarian Government has confirmed that it has formally submitted a proposal to the National Parks Network Committee for the waters south of El Hierro to be adopted as a National Marine Park. If approved, as seems likely, it will be the fifth national park in the Canary Islands.
The sea area has already been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and the submarine eruption some years ago has even further enriched its unique bio and geo-diversity.
