The boat slips off the pier and the shoreline of Montego Bay drops away into a ribbon of turquoise. Salt and diesel mix in the air as the captain steers toward a pair of coral outcrops protected inside the Montego Bay Marine Park. The first reef rises like an underwater garden; the second lies a little farther out, its corals brushing sunlight into slow-moving shards.

The Montego Bay Marine Park was established in the early 1990s to protect reefs, seagrass beds and shorelines while allowing managed tourism and fishing.
Conservation
Operators follow no-touch policies and encourage reef-safe sunscreen; limiting anchoring on live coral and keeping group sizes small helps reduce impact.
