The zone includes coastal desert and marine ecosystems in the Bay of Ancón, located within the districts of Ancón and Puente Piedra. It holds great potential for scientific research and education due to the unique biotic components of the coastal desert and marine habitats, which show special ecological adaptations. The area also plays a role in fostering the value of conservation of Peru's coastal natural resources.[2][3][4]
