The Montego Bay Marine Park has several zones which determine the types of activities allowed within the park.

These zones are established by two primary sources: the NRCA Act (Marine Park Regulations), and Fish Sanctuaries, as determined by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Division.

Both zones have their own rules that apply to the use of marine resources, and in some cases overlap.

It is important to note that these zones were initially established when the park was initially established.  These zones are currently being revisited by NEPA and Fisheries Division in response to changes in use over the past 20 years, as well as ecological changes that have taken place. Once those changes have been gazetted into public law, they will be posted here.
