News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Aug. 21, 2014: Can you guess where this is?
This is part of the Marine Park on the island of Saba. It was established in 1987 with permanent moorings, regulations of use and maintenance and a strong conservation attitude. It circles the entire island from the high-water mark to a depth of 60 m (200 feet), including the seabed and overlying waters.
The total area is approximately 1,300 hectares. A zoning plan divides the park for various recreational and commercial uses. A system of permanent mooring buoys facilitates diving and prevents damage to corals. One of the few self-sustaining marine parks anywhere in the world, the Saba Marine Park raises revenue through visitor fees, souvenir sales, and donations.
