Hol Chan Marine Reserve
Snorkel, Diving, Swimming |
In the early 1980s fish stocks in
the area around Hol Chan began to dwindle and at the same time
tourism to the Cayes began to increase. Disputes arose over
access to the Hol Chan Cut, a natural break in the reef, which
was a productive fishing area but also popular with snorkellers
and divers. Proposed fishing bans were rejected and in the mid
1980s public consultation over establishing a marine protected
area began. Reserve status was also called for by international
organizations such as the New York Zoological Society (NYZS) and
Peace Corps, due to the unique formation of the channel, the
abundant fishery resources (including conch and lobster) and the
feasibility of including an interlinked system of coral reef,
sea grass and mangrove habitats in this area. The reserve was
established in July 1987 with funding from WWF and USAID, after
the draft management plan was approved by the Fisheries
ministery and the local fishermen's co-operative.
Hol Chan Cut is open to the sea beyond the reef, so allows
marine creatures to travel from the outside of the reef to the
inside and vice versa. Over 160 species of fish have been
recorded in the reserve, along with forty types of coral, five
species of sponge, two sea grasses, three species of sea turtle
and three marine mammals: the Short-beaked Common Dolphin, Pan
tropical Spotted Dolphin and West Indian Manatee. Spotted eagle
rays and Southern stingrays are common at the bottom of the
channel. Lobsters, Moray eels and sea anemones live among the
rocky outcrops and there are many corals including brain coral,
with elkhorn coral, leaf coral and finger coral lining the sides
of the cut. Jacks, Groupers, Snappers and Barracuda are all
common. The mangrove forests act as nurseries for many fish
species and adult Blue-striped grunts, French grunts, White
grunts, Gray snappers, French angelfish, Gray angelfish and
Seahorses may also be found among the mangroves. The sea grass
beds have Parrot fish and Hogfish and occasional turtles.
Manatees are rare visitors. Shark Ray Alley has Nurse sharks and
Southern stingrays and occasionally other fish.
