Chumbe Island Coral Park

Chumbe Island Coral Park is a non-governmental organisation based in Zanzibar, Tanzania working on nature & wildlife conservation, environment & climate, education.

Chumbe Island Coral Park is a privately managed marine protected area and nature reserve on Chumbe Island, about 8 km west of Unguja (Zanzibar), Tanzania. It protects a coral reef sanctuary and a coral rag forest reserve, and is funded largely through ecotourism revenue from its eco-lodge. The organisation runs environmental education for schoolchildren, students and coastal communities, supports sustainable fisheries and local enterprises, and hosts research. It was the first gazetted marine park in Tanzania and was established as a not-for-profit company under a public-private partnership with the Government of Zanzibar.
