Candidatura Reserva da Biosfera - Santana Madeira Biosfera

In relation to the marine transition area, there are no activities or uses that may be
detrimental to the area. Overall, the marine transition zone is exempt of any activities,
except in the summer months, where there is the use of bathing areas. Another activity
of highest expression in the summer is shore fishing by line and underwater spearfishing,
which due to the restrictions that regulate and control these activities, don’t cause any
adverse effects.
