Marine natural park of Glorioso Islands, Marine protected area in northern Mozambique Channel, Indian Ocean.
The Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park spans 43,000 square kilometers of ocean territory, featuring coral reefs and diverse marine ecosystems.
The French government established this marine park in February 2012 as the fourth marine natural park in France and second in the Indian Ocean.
Twenty appointed members, including French officials, environmental experts, and fishing industry representatives, make decisions about park management and conservation.
Research teams monitor 1,435 marine species within the park boundaries, including 349 types of coral reef fish and 150 cnidarian species.
The marine park connects with Mayotte Marine Natural Park to form a protected marine zone of 110,000 square kilometers in the Mozambique Channel.
