Hima Mansouri, declared by SPNL and the concerned municipality in 2008, is similar to Hima Qoleileh as they have the same ecosystem. In this region we can find a remarkable marine biodiversity and some birds of prey like marsh harrier, making it a good spot for bird- watching. Due to the presence of glob- ally threatened sea turtles, conservation actions are mandatory in this coastal site, which is important for the maintenance of southern Lebanese marine biodiversity and for encouraging ecotourism where visitors would be able to watch the sea turtles eggs hatching which is consid- ered as an important activity for nature enthusiasts.
