Deputy Prime Minister for Climate Change and Environment Minister Borislav Sandov declared Coral Beach as protected area in a Facebook post. He explained that this is part of a strategy for the preservation of marine ecosystems and the proposal came from a civic association, Let’s Preserve Coral.

By 2030 Bulgaria should have 30 per cent protected marine areas and 10 per cent strictly protected marine areas, as part of its commitments according to the criteria for membership in the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, an intergovernmental group within the Convention on Biological Diversity to which Bulgaria has been party since March 2022, said Sandov.
