Mayotte Marine Natural Park, Marine nature reserve in Indian Ocean, Mayotte
The Mayotte Marine Natural Park extends over 69,000 square kilometers, encompassing the lagoon, territorial waters, and exclusive economic zone around the island.
Established on January 18, 2010, this park became the first French overseas marine protected area and the second in France after the Mer d'Iroise.
The park functions as a marine parliament where local communities participate in decision-making processes regarding marine resource management and conservation strategies.
The marine park maintains 103 mooring devices distributed around the Mayotte lagoon to protect coral reefs from anchor damage.
The park contains a 1,300 square kilometer lagoon with a double barrier reef system, which exists in only ten locations worldwide.
