Fabulous February at the Sisters Islands Marine Park

In February, the Sisters Islands Marine Park was officially conferred legal protection after Parliament passed amendments to the Parks and Trees Act to legislatively delineate the boundaries of Marine Park. Hurray!
Another glorious day exploring the Marine Park

Next steps include bringing stakeholders together to form Friends of the Sisters Islands Marine Park! There was also another great public intertidal walk by volunteers. And the Marine Park was featured in an exciting 'virtual dive' tool to help train for scientific work on the reefs.
