Eastern Dry Rocks Sanctuary Preservation Area
Eastern Dry Rocks Sanctuary Preservation Area (SPA) is just 90 acres in size, yet it contains a concentration of important bank reef habitats within a small area, and ranges in depth from 5 to 35 feet. Eastern Dry Rocks is designated as one of the seven featured sites of Mission: Iconic Reefs. Eastern Dry Rocks SPA is typical of most reef formations in the area, with a rubble zone and long fingers of coral with sand and coral-filled canyons.
Special regulations apply here. Learn more about what activities are allowed in this type of zone.
