"The El-Kouf National Park is a marine protected area located near the town of El Beidha, on the north-eastern side of Libya. This park extends along the country's Mediterranean shore for approximately 20 km / 12 miles of coastline and encompasses beaches, sand dunes and lagoons, whilst also covering a protected area that includes the northern slopes of Jabel Al Akhdar mountain. As well as providing an ideal protective environment for marine fish and mammals, such as common and bottle-nosed dolphins, the park's animal life includes hyenas, golden jackals and small-spotted genets (a cat-like creature)."
