Monumento Natural Las Tetas de Maria Guevara

Coastal natural monument (Monumento Natural, ~1,670 ha) on the low sandy isthmus of Isla de Margarita (Nueva Esparta), declared 27 February 1974; comprises two conical hills surrounded by three coastal saline lagoons and mangroves (Boca de Pala, Laguna de Raya and Laguna de Punta de Piedras), managed by INPARQUES (WDPA 308). As a Monumento Natural, underwater/spearfishing (pesca submarina) and commercial fishing in its coastal-lagoon and marine fringe are expressly prohibited under Decreto 276, Art. 19.2. Note: WDPA classifies the site under Terrestrial and Inland Waters; the spearfishing relevance attaches to its coastal saline lagoons and mangrove fringe.
