Manyange na Elombo-Campo National Marine Park

Cameroon's first marine protected area, created by decree signed on 3 November 2021, located on the southern Atlantic coast at the maritime border with Equatorial Guinea (Campo / Ebodje area, South Region). Covers about 110,300 hectares of territorial waters. Industrial fishing is prohibited inside the park and its buffer zone; artisanal subsistence fishing by local communities is permitted. The park protects spawning grounds and species including sea turtles, the West African manatee and the Atlantic humpback dolphin. Any human activity likely to affect the park's objectives requires a prior, approved environmental impact study.
