Comprising over 50 islands, the BVI has a large marine area of 638,568 km2, which significantly exceeds its terrestrial area (153 km2). Managing a marine area over 4,000 times larger than the terrestrial area presents challenges in protecting biodiversity and sustainable development. This project focussed on an area south of the main island of Tortola and Beef Island which was selected through stakeholder engagement to provide the greatest benefit to all departments of the BVI Government. The area included the approach to Road Harbour which is the main shipping route to the islands; an area south of Hans Creek which is of importance as a fish nursery area; and a section of Sir Francis Drake Channel which encompassed the main shipping channel and the Rhone Marine Park, the first Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the BVI (Figure 1).

Its large river passage and pristine formations are just two of the reasons why this appeals to both local and foreign visitors. Besides its natural beauty the site is made even more interesting by the presence of a wide range of archaeological remains that were left there by the ancient Maya visitors. Archaeologists believe that this cave was used for ritual purposes.
