The area is managed by Metsähallitus.
Ekenäs Archipelago National Park in the Gulf of Finland
is a beautiful part of Nyland archipelago. The park offers good possibilities
for boating.
The National Park is located in Western Nyland near the southern coast of
Finland and it includes three out of the four archipelago zones: inner and outer
archipelago, and the open sea. Almost 90% of the park consists of water areas,
and it has no other land areas but islands, such as Älgö, Fladalandet,
Modermagan and Jussarö. The private land and water areas inside the National
Park are not part of the park, and the park rules and regulations do not apply
there either.
Two
National Parks in Finland have been awarded with the European Diploma of Protected Areas of the Council
of Europe (www.coe.int). One is Ekenäs Archipelago National Park, and the
other one is Seitseminen National Park.
