QUICKLINKS:

A Community Under The Sea

Virgin Islands Coral Reef Monument includes federal submerged lands within the 3 mile belt off of the island of St. John. These waters support a diverse and complex system of coral reefs, and other ecosystems such as shoreline mangrove forests and segrass beds that contribute to their health and survival.

The Monument

Virgin Islands Coral Reef Monument was established in January 2001 when a presidential proclamation designated 12,708 acres of federally owned submerged lands to be protected.
