The Saba National Marine Park encompasses the waters and sea bed encircling the Caribbean island of Saba, Caribbean Netherlands, from the high water mark to 200 feet (61 m) deep.[2] In total, the marine park covers approximately 5 square miles (13 km2).[2] At the time of its creation in 1987, the government passed the Marine Environment Ordinance to protect the coral reefs and other marine life within the park.[2][3][4] The Saba Conservation Foundation manages the Saba National Marine Park,[5] as well as the island's hyperbaric facility,[6][7] and natural sites on land (e.g., the Saba Trail network).[2][8][5]
