The Chumbe Island Coral Park is a unique privately
managed nature reserve developed and managed by the
Chumbe Island Coral Park Ltd. (CHICOP). It is a rare
example of a still pristine coral island ecosystem in an
otherwise heavily overfished and over-exploited area.
The reserve includes a reef sanctuary, which has become
the first gazetted marine park in Tanzania, and a forest
reserve.
With Chumbe being located upstream of the most important
fishing grounds opposite Zanzibar's capital, Stone Town,
the Chumbe reef provides a protected breeding ground for
fish, corals and other species which can then spread out
to re-colonize nearby overfished and degraded areas.
