During these 50 years, rules and regulations were the order of the day. Restrictions and outright bans applied to owning a boat, diving, fishing hunting, cutting down trees, farming, manufacturing, construction, etc. Foreign tourists were confined to a few stretches of seacoast.

On one side, the past: 50 years of isolation from the modern world has preserved an ecological paradise.
