It encompasses a diverse range of marine life and coral species, making it one of Southeast Asia's key biodiversity hotspots. Historically, the area has been a crucial fishing ground, and today it balances ecological conservation with sustainable local tourism. Visitors flock here for diving and snorkeling, where they can experience the vibrant coral reefs and possibly catch a glimpse of marine species such as dugongs, sea turtles, and numerous fish species. The marine area also borders the larger Phu Quoc National Park, contributing to a larger network of protected areas on the island.
