The minister’s signature came after a professional effort by the team of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Nature and Parks Authority and the Society for the Protection of Nature, which was one of the initiators of the precedent-setting move, based on findings discovered by Dr. Yitzhak Makovsky from the University of Haifa and Dr. Maxim Robin Blum of the Israel Seas and Lakes Research and their team. The signing ceremony took place today at the Palmachim National Park, managed by the Nature and Parks Authority.
