SYNOPSIS

In 2024 El Salvador declared a marine sanctuary at the richly biodiverse and beautiful, Maculís Reef.  This vibrant ecosystem is vital not only for its extraordinary marine life, including soft corals, oysters, lobsters, nurse sharks, and endangered species like hawksbill turtles, but also for the local communities that rely on its resources.

 

The protection of Maculís Reef strengthens the conversation of one of the El Salvador's richest coastal-marine ecosystems and affirms the country's world-leading reputation in environmental protection and sustainable development.

 

This visually stunning film celebrates the Reef and its protection and raises awareness of the invaluable and irreplaceable ecosystems found beneath the waves of El Salvador's shores.
