Park Rules:

We respectfully request adherence to the following rules to help sustain our valuable marine resources for generations to come:

  • All forms of fishing (line, spear and net) are prohibited in the MPA.
  • Use mooring buoys where available. If you must anchor, only do so in areas with a sandy bottom.
  • Do not collect marine life (plant or animal), either alive or dead. This includes seashells, seaweed, and live or dead coral.
  • Do not discard anything in the water, including food or plant materials. Please properly dispose of all trash.
  • Do not walk on the reef flats even at low tide when reefs are more exposed.
  • Never chase, harass or try to ride marine life. Do not touch, handle or feed marine life.
  • When diving, maintain good buoyancy control and practice good fining to avoid contact with the reef.
  • Do not put your feet down when swimming or snorkeling. If you must stand up, look down first and pick a patch of sand or dead coral.
