Nan 2010, Nati Fondasyon St Maarten a te ofisyèlman aktive yo kreye yon ki byen jere maren pak, ak yon strik pa gen okenn-pran zòn nan adrès ogmante menas. Fondasyon an te pran yon apwòch twa pou jwenn sipò nan men mizisyen desizyon sou etablisman marin pak. Premyèman, Fondasyon an te fè yon evalyasyon ekolojik nan resif St Maarten la. Etid debi sa a endike zòn espesifik yo - rès resèt sante nan peyi a - kòm yon gwo priyorite pou konsèvasyon. Yo reamenaje pak yo pwopoze a pou li pwoteje jis zòn sa yo - ki reprezante 25% nan dlo teritoryal nan peyi a, epi ki kouvri 10,000 ekta.

In 2010, the Nature Foundation St. Maarten was officially reactivated to create a well-managed marine park, with a strict no-take area to address increasing threats. The Foundation took a three-pronged approach to get support from decision makers on marine park establishment. First, the Foundation did an ecological assessment of St. Maarten’s reefs. This baseline study pinpointed specific areas – the country’s remaining healthy reefs – as a high priority for conservation. They redesigned the proposed park so that it would protect just those areas – representing 25% of the country’s territorial waters, and covering 10,000 hectares.
