Its coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds support a wide range of species, including several that are threatened or endangered. The site also showcases important ecological processes that sustain the wider Caribbean marine environment. UNESCO recognizes the reef for its outstanding natural value and its crucial role in global conservation efforts.
