The ecologic value of its marine habitat is incalculable because here there are some of the most representative examples of Atlantic marine eco‐systems. Marine habitat of the National Park is a big mosaic of different habitats that support an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna. We can find habitats defined by the European Community like ´community priority´: reefs, lagoons or sandbanks covered all the time by no deep marine waters. On land we can find ´community priority´ habitats too, likes the grey dunes or the ´aerohalins´ littoral bushes or the southerner atlantic humid ´brezo´ bushes. The most important problem in the National Park conservation is the human pressure. In Cies Islands the eucalyptus plantations, pines and acacias have occupied the place of native plants. The eradication of these plantations is a very long place process and the National Park is working in and the results will be seen gradually. Actually, it is being done actuations to develop a correct management of the public use, the islands residues, the navigation, the sail, etc.
