Source: Departamento de Áreas Protegidas y Vida Silvestre de la Administración Forestal del Estado HN1a.3-Plan de Manejo Parque Nacional Punta Izopo Instituto Hondureño de Turismo HCRF Institution 2011 - It was determined that 34% of Honduras' territorial sea is inside MPAs (summary table in evidence HN1a.10 and HN1a.11). Honduras has 23,987 km2 of territorial sea (spatial information in HN1a.9 and summary in HN1a.10 and HN1a.12), and 8,082 km2 inside MPAs (spatial information in HN1a.9; summary in HN1a.10 and HN1a.12; legal orientation and detailed information [maps and/or summary statistics] for individual MPAs in HN1a.1 [pages 14 & 49], HN1a.2 [pages 12 & 33], HN1a.3 [pages 3 & 33], HN1a.4 [pages 11 & 17], HN1a.5 [pages 8 and 30], HN1a.6 [pages 7 & 10], HN1a.7, HN1a.8). Management plans and spatial information were compiled by HRI using national government data on MPAs. GIS layers (HN1a.9) contain all the spatial information used in this analysis. Please note that some numbers may slightly differ from those reported in individual management plans due to the fact that HRI only calculated the marine portion of each reserve. Several management plans and country reports include the total area of an MPA, which may include the area of marine waters, inland waters and land in its summary tables. Slight differences may be the result of different GIS layers (maps). The legal orientation and description for each protected area can be found in HN1a.1/p14 & 49, HN1a.2/2.4.3 p.33 & 1.2.4.4 p.12, HN1a.3/1.1 p.3 & 1.4.3 p.33, HN1a.4/ p.11 & p.17, HN1a.5/II1.1 p.8 & II2.2 p.30, HN1a.6/II p. 7 III p.10, HN1b.7 p. 1 Article 1, and HN1b.8 p.2 Article 1.

Some of these changes are related to a revision of MPA borders carried put by Iliana Chollett, and her supporting documents can be found under HN1a.21 &22. Other supporting documents have been acquired, related to MPAs in Honduras, such as shape files (HN1a.12, 24, 26, 28, 29 & 30); new MPAs decreed or under municipal ordinance (HN1a.15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25 & 34); updated or new management plans (HN1a27 & 35); as well as norms that apply to buffer zones (HN1a.36). 2016 - 40.9% of Honduras' territorial sea is inside MPAs. 2014 - It was determined that 40.9% of Honduras' territorial sea is inside MPAs (summary table in evidence HN1a.13).
