Manglares El Morro Wildlife Refuge

Manglares El Morro is a coastal wildlife refuge in southwestern Ecuador that protects one of the country's most important mangrove ecosystems. Located in the Guayas Province and administered through Fundación Natura, the refuge lies at the mouth of the Gulf of Guayaquil, where Pacific Ocean currents directly shape the local climate and ecological conditions. The refuge preserves an extensive belt of mangrove forest crossed by tidal estuaries and natural channels, along with emerging islands and rocky formations known as farallones. Its position at the threshold of the Gulf of Guayaquil gives it an ecological character that differs from interior protected areas, making it a key marine and coastal habitat within Ecuador's National System of Protected Areas. Established in September 2007, the refuge is recognized for nesting seabirds, seasonal marine mammals such as sea lions, resident bottlenose dolphins, and migrating sea turtles. Beyond its ecological role, Manglares El Morro has become an important center for community-based ecotourism, drawing thousands of visitors each year from nearby towns such as Puerto El Morro, Posorja, and Isla Puná.
