Mohéli National Park, Marine protected area in Mohéli, Comoros.

The park extends over 404 square kilometers along the southern coast of Mohéli Island, protecting coral reefs and marine habitats in the Mozambique Channel.

The marine park received official designation in 2001 after extensive consultations with ten local villages and international organizations during the 1990s.

Local fishing communities participate in marine resource management through a committee where ten representatives contribute to conservation decisions.

Visitors can explore the marine environment through guided tours arranged by local agencies, with opportunities to observe sea turtles and dugongs.

The protected waters contain more than 500 plant species, 21 bird species, nine reptile species, and serve as nesting grounds for green turtles.
