Marine Reserve

EL Nido's marine ecosystem is one of the most diverse in the Philippines. It has an
extensive variety of species of sea grass, corals, algae, fishes and the hawksbill
turtle.

Equally rich are El Nido's forests where a wide variety of plant and wildlife, some of
which are found only in Palawan, abound. The scaly Ant Eater, the Palawan
Porcupine and the Palawan Peacock pheasant are examples of the wildlife that can be seen in El Nido.

In recognition of the critical importance of protecting and maintaining the natural
biological and physical diversity of El Nido's environment, the National Government
declared 12 out of 18 barrios in El Nido as a protected area called the El Nido Marine Reserve. This protected area is covered by special laws to ensure that the natural resources within the reserve are conserved and properly managed.

Activities prohibited in the Marine Reserve include taking and catching protected
marine and wildlife species; gathering and collecting shells and tropical fishes for
commercial and/or souvenir purposes; spearfishing; indiscrimate disposal of trash
and removing or destroying natural features and archaeological and historical
resources.

El Nido Resorts of Ten Knots Development Corporation encourages all Resort
guests to be actively involved in the protection and conservation of the area's
resources. A code or creed of environmental conduct for Resort guests was
developed by the Company. All guests are given a copy of this upon checking-in at
the Resort and are enjoined to observe the code of conduct during their stay in El
Nido.

Please allow El Nido to remain as pristine as it is. Let us keep its environment safe
and protected.
