South Africa's Marine Protected Areas Prestige Set 2016, Coin Set from South Africa - detailed information

The prestige set is comprised of all four silver coins of the 2016 Marine Protected Areas coin series.

South Africa’s holistic approach to conservation includes a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) to conserve the country’s offshore biodiversity and ensure the sustainable use of its marine resources.

This theme was introduced in 2013, featuring the Delagoa bioregion, followed by MPAs in the Natal and Agulhas bioregions in 2014 and 2015 respectively. 2016 sees the celebration of the South-Western Cape bioregion, through depictions of various marine life.
