List of marine parks and management areas in Haiti
Marine protected areas in Haiti are largely created through the efforts of the Foundation for the Protection of Marine Biodiversity (FoProBiM) to help protect Haiti's coastal and marine ecosystems. In August 2013, the "Protected Area of Natural Resources Management of Port Salut/Aquin", was created in Southwestern Haiti.[1] The most recent marine protected area is "The Three Bays Protected Area", located in Northeastern Haiti and created in December 2013.[2]
