SummaryResumen
Agreement 55, issued by the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) and published in La Gaceta in January 2000, prohibits overflights by aircraft, drones, or any aerial devices below three thousand feet over Isla del Coco National Park, its marine protection area, and by extension all protected wild areas. The measure is based on the need to preserve the ecological integrity of these spaces, preventing disturbances to fauna, particularly seabirds and threatened species that use the park as a nesting and refuge site. Exceptions are established for official surveillance flights, authorized scientific research, and emergencies. The provision is mandatory for all air operators and seeks to strengthen protection of one of the country's most valuable marine and terrestrial conservation sites.El Acuerdo 55, emitido por el Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía (MINAE) y publicado en La Gaceta en enero del 2000, prohíbe el sobrevuelo de aeronaves, drones y cualquier artefacto aéreo a menos de tres mil pies de altura sobre el Parque Nacional Isla del Coco, su área marina de protección y, por extensión, las áreas silvestres protegidas. La medida se fundamenta en la necesidad de preservar la integridad ecológica de estos espacios, evitando perturbaciones a la fauna, particularmente aves marinas y especies amenazadas que utilizan el parque como sitio de anidación y refugio. Se establecen excepciones para vuelos oficiales de vigilancia, investigación científica autorizada y emergencias. La disposición es de acatamiento obligatorio para todos los operadores aéreos y busca fortalecer la protección de uno de los sitios de mayor valor de conservación marina y terrestre del país.
