Upon its formation as a biosphere reserve in 1998 a management program was ordered. In
March 2004 - the first draft management program appeared on the internet. In effect, as of
2007 - the biosphere is still without an official management program.
In 2008 the official plan is published and appears on the internet in 2009.

In late 2006 some comments were published which are more interesting reading than the
borrador.

2006 - RESPUESTA A LAS AMPLIACIONES Y CORRECCIONES DE COFEMER A LA MIR DEL

.
Translated copy  from Spanish to English, done by GOOGLE, don´t blame me !
Paragraphs 1, 4 & 5 are worthwhile reading, the rest is mostly bureaucratic garble.
Unfortunately, the tables used in the document
did not translate, please consult them in the
Spanish version. I used the 2004 version as the base for the Google garble, the 2008
version is not much different.
