A recreational and educational access area will also be constructed along SH 48 at the main channel site into Bahia Grande and will include historical information on native use of Bahia Grande by indigenous people as well as the unique waterfowl, marine fish and wildlife and coastal vegetation within the Bahia Grande complex.
