I have been looking to find official documentation that covers the No Fish zone within the LUBOMBA Transfrontier protected area. This area is from just North of Ponta Techobanine and stretches north to Ponta Mucombo ou Majumbo.
I have a map and a document stating the basics attached hereto. Any additional information relating to co-ordinates of the zone etc. will be appreciated.
Thanks
The PDF is too large to post. I will see if I can extract some info.
