The Mayotte Marine Natural Park is a marine park covering the entire territorial waters and exclusive economic zone of Mayotte, a French overseas region in the Comoro Islands archipelago in the western Indian Ocean. Established in 2010, it is contiguous with the Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park created two years later, and it protects coral reefs, seagrass meadows and open ocean habitats supporting significant biodiversity, including rare and endangered species. Marine products from the park are also economically important to the people of Mayotte.
