Berlengas Natural Reserve is a Portuguese natural reserve in the Berlengas, a small archipelago off the coast of Peniche, Portugal. Over 98% of its 95.6 km2 (36.9 sq mi) are marine. The symbol of the protected area is the common murre, which has, or had, its southernmost nidifying population in the islands.[2]
