Parque Nacional Revillagigedo - Zona Núcleo - Subzona de Uso Restringido Investigación Marino

To protect the marine and terrestrial environments of the core zone. In these subzones there are underwater mountains, which are habitats of marine species such as mollusks, echinoderm corals, crustaceans, bony fish and elasmobranchs, among others, and four islands: Socorro, San Benedicto, Clarión and Roca Partida, which are of volcanic origin. There are also geological-biological manifestations of great relevance such as hydrothermal chimneys and their associated environments.

Species of Concern: Clarion angelfish, Townsend's shearwater, sea turtles, Socorro towhee, Socorro island tree lizard
