Rekonèt wo nivo divèsite biyolojik la nan tou de refe ak forè abita yo, Sibylle Riedmiller, yon conservateur ak ansyen travayè èd, te dirije etablisman an nan zile a dezole ak ki antoure abita lanmè kòm Chumbe Island Coral Park la (CHICOP) nan 1992. Konsantre a te kreye yon pak maren kote pwofi nan touris ta ede sipòte konsèvasyon ak edikasyon anviwònman an. Madam Riedmiller te reyalize ke pou yo ka pran presyon lapèch nan ekosistèm Reef la, li te kapab ofri pechè lokal yo travay tankou gad park, ki ta antrene tou pou edike pwezidan parèy yo sou efè refleksyon yon zòn ki pa pran yo ki ta benefisye yo pa rkonstangasyon sou-pèch zòn lapèch adjasan e konsa ogmante kaptur.

Recognizing the high level of biodiversity in both reef and forest habitats, Sibylle Riedmiller, a conservationist and former aid worker, spearheaded the establishment of the uninhabited island and surrounding marine habitat as the Chumbe Island Coral Park (CHICOP) in 1992. The focus was to create a marine park where profits from tourism would help support conservation and environmental education. Ms. Riedmiller further realized that in order to take fishing pressure off of the reef ecosystem, she could offer local fishermen employment as park rangers, who would also be trained to educate fellow fishers about the spillover effect of a no-take zone that would benefit them by restocking over-fished adjacent fishing areas and thus increase catches.
