The Narrows (Saint Kitts and Nevis) explained

The Narrows is the strait that separates the Caribbean islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis. At its narrowest, it is 3 kilometres wide.^{[1] [2]}

History

Over the years it has been observed that fish stock and biodiversity in general in The Narrows was deteriorating.

In 1986 the Island Resources Foundation developed a marine parks proposal for the Southeast Peninsula area of St. Kitts.
In 1998 the St. Kitts Fisheries Management Unit developed a proposal for the preparation of a Management Plan for the development of Marine Protected Areas.

In 2006 the Nevis Department of Fisheries developed a proposal for management of the Narrows.
As of 2019 a new enhanced management proposal of The Narrows Marine Managed Area (NMMA) in St. Kitts and Nevis is being developed.^[3]
