These two marine parks totally 5,000 acres of lush coral, were established in 2002 to help preserve and replenish the valuable ecosystem of the Central Andros Barrier Reef. It is the third longest fringing barrier reef in the world, spanning some one hundred and forty miles off the east coast of Andros on the top of a cliff that plunges 6,000 ft into the tongue of the ocean.
