P.R. Laws tit. 12, § 5105
All public and patrimonial lands located in the NEC that belong to the agencies, public corporations, or any department of the government, including the maritime-terrestrial zone, submerged lands, lands beneath navigable waters, and the waters thereof within the maritime limit of the coastal zone north of the NEC are hereby designated as a nature reserve. For purposes of facilitating the identification of the designated territories in dry land, the following parcels or properties, without excluding others, are part of the area of the NEC designated as a nature reserve, according to the cadastre number assigned by the Municipal Revenue Collections Center (CRIM, Spanish acronym):
120-000-004-14

The Planning Board is hereby directed to amend any regulations, plans, and land use maps in order to recognize said designation, as well as to temper them with the designation and the public policy established for the NEC in this chapter.
The designation of the public lands in the NEC as a nature reserve shall have the same effect as if they were designated under the provisions of §§ 1225-1241 of this title, known as the “Puerto Rico Natural Patrimony Act”, and the Puerto Rico Coastal Zone Management Program. It shall have the same legal consequences, as well as the same restrictions and statutory and regulatory limitations that apply to nature reserves created or established pursuant to said statute and program without the need to carry out any other formality or action of an executive or administrative nature by any agency, department, or instrumentality of the Government of Puerto Rico.
