The Saba National Marine Park (SMP) was established in 1987 with the objective of preserving and managing Saba’s marine resources. The SMP was not developed to repair a damaged environment but rather to ensure the continued quality of an extraordinary resource for the benefit and enjoyment of everyone. The SMP circles the entire island from the high-water mark to a depth of 60 m (200 feet), including the seabed and overlying waters.
