Marine De La Réunion, Nature reserve on western coast of Reunion Island, France
The Marine Reserve extends along 40 kilometers of coastline and contains coral reefs that shelter more than 3,500 marine species.
The Marine Reserve of Reunion Island was established in February 2007 to protect the coral reef ecosystems and regulate maritime activities.
The reserve works with local communities to maintain traditional fishing practices while implementing conservation measures for marine habitats.
Visitors can explore the underwater trail in Ermitage Lagoon with masks and snorkels, following marked buoys that indicate observation stations.
The protected area includes two sanctuary zones where human activities are prohibited, allowing coral reefs to regenerate naturally.
