From Lebanon's Marine Protection Area Strategy:

"In Lebanon, there are two legally declared marine protected areas: the Palm Islands Nature Reserve in North Lebanon and the Tyre Coast Nature Reserve in South Lebanon. Presently, the MoE and IUCN are implementing with OAPN, AECID and MAVA funding the project “Supporting Management of Important Marine Habitats and Species in Lebanon” (2010-2012) to support the development of a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and an associated monitoring program to evaluate their management effectiveness. So far, the project has assessed the feasibility of declaring three marine protected areas (Ras El Chekaa cliff, Batroun site and the Medfoun site), and carried out detailed biodiversity assessment and inventories in those sites and produced related GIS maps."
