The Gulf of California is a marine and coastal region which is home to an unusual number of rare flora and fauna. In 2005, UNESCO added parts of the Gulf of California, among them Isla Isabel, to its list of world heritage sites. For 15 years the island has been an official nature reserve. Now the national park authority wants to protect surrounding marine area as well, so life on the island can continue. The fish are essential to the survival of the local birds. Species from the entire region are still plentiful, but biodiversity is threatened by overfishing.
