Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The law declares the Cíes, Ons, Sálvora and Cortegada islands a maritime-terrestrial National Park and includes it in the network of national parks. Its conservation is considered a matter of general interest for the Nation.
  2. The park covers the land and sea areas described in the annex. The Government may expand it with nearby spaces that are State property, expropriated, or donated by their owners.
  3. The municipalities where the park is located become its socioeconomic influence area and may receive subsidies and compensation. A plan will also be drawn up to preserve compatible traditional activities.
  4. Activities that harm the ecosystems are banned, such as camping outside designated areas, driving motor vehicles, installing wind farms, or sailing without a justified reason. Professional artisanal fishing is exempt from the general ban.
  5. Management is shared by the State and the Xunta de Galicia through a joint commission, led by a Director-Conservador. A board of trustees is also created with representatives of administrations, town councils, universities, landowners, environmental groups and fishermen's guilds.
  6. Offenses are classified as minor, serious and very serious, with penalties imposed by the Director-Conservador or the Parques Nacionales autonomous agency. If conduct is also a fishing offense, the rule with the harshest penalty applies, increased by 25 percent.
