🌊 Marine Park Rules & Etiquette

1. Respect Wildlife

• Look but don’t touch!

• Never chase, feed, or harass marine animals.

• Keep a safe distance — avoid blocking their natural path.

2. No Touching or Taking ( do not use gloves)

• Do not touch corals, shells, or any marine life.

• Collecting souvenirs (shells, sand, corals, etc.) is strictly prohibited.

3. Stay Buoyant

• Practice good buoyancy control when snorkeling or diving to avoid kicking corals or stirring sediment.

4. Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

• Choose eco-friendly sunscreen to protect coral reefs from harmful chemicals.

5. No Littering

• Take everything you brought with you back to shore.

• Even biodegradable items like food scraps can disrupt marine ecosystems.

6. Follow Designated Paths

• Stay within marked snorkeling or diving zones.

• Avoid anchoring on reefs — use mooring buoys when available.

7. Observe Fishing Restrictions

• Fishing, spearfishing, or collecting marine life is usually banned or heavily regulated in marine parks.

8. Listen to Guides and Rangers

• Always follow the instructions given during briefings.

• Respect any temporary closures or restrictions to allow nature to recover.

9. Keep Noise Levels Down

• Sound travels far underwater — loud noises can stress marine animals.

10. Be a Role Model

• Set a good example for others by following all rules and sharing your knowledge about protecting the ocean.
