Protected Area

Niue Nukutuluea Multiple-Use Marine Park

Protected Area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

The Niue Nukutuluea Multiple-Use Marine Park is a marine protected area covering the territorial waters and exclusive economic zone around the Pacific island of Niue, spanning 318,140 square kilometres. Established in April 2022, it incorporated the earlier Niue Moana Mahu Marine Protected Area and Beveridge Reef Nukutulueatama Special Management Area, both created in April 2020. The park is divided into five zones with differing permitted activities, the strictest protecting the biodiverse Beveridge Reef, and it is managed through a public-private partnership aimed at sustaining fisheries and encouraging ecotourism.
