Municipality of Silves stops land plan for Zoomarine expansion

The decision made by Silves City Council is available for public consultation until June 3.

The Municipality of Silves, located in the Algarvian Barlavento, has suspended its Public Land Plan near Sítio do Ribeiro to allow the expansion of the Zoomarine Sealife amusement park.

This decision was taken by the city Council on Monday, and it is available for public consultation until June 3.

Zoomarin’s expansion is expected to occupy a plot of land behind the existing attraction, and it would include a cable car, more parking, a new wave pool, and a solar panel park.
