The Hol Chan Marine Reserve was established as a marine protected area in 1987 under the Fisheries Act (Statutory Instrument # 57) Laws of Belize. It incorporates the southernmost marine and coastal areas of Ambergris Caye including the barrier reef, seagrass beds and the mangrove islands of Boca Chica and Cangrejo Shoals. A zoning scheme was developed in order to ensure sustainable use and guarantee its conservation. Hol Chan is divided into four zones which include no-take areas and zones that regulate and promote sustainable fishing practices.
In September of 1999, Hol Chan Marine Reserve was extended to include an area called Shark Ray Alley. This zone is located immediately south of zone A and represents 2 sq miles of coral reef and seagrass bed habitat. The main attraction in this site is the opportunity to snorkel with Nurse Sharks and Southern Sting Rays. Additionally, the site possesses spectacular coral formations in the back reef for snorkelers and on the reef for Scuba divers.
