evidence: The Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park (French: Parc naturel marin des Glorieuses) is a marine park at the entrance of the Mozambique Channel, around the Glorioso Islands, in the Indian Ocean. It extends for more than 43,000 square kilometres (17,000 sq mi) until the edge of the French overseas territory's exclusive economic zone. Established in 2012, it is the fourth marine natural park created by France and the second in the Indian Ocean after Mayotte Marine Natural Park, which it abuts. [...] History [edit]The territory of the Glorioso Islands has seen a number of problems due to illegal activities such as fishing and tourism. To keep an eye on these activities, while protecting the entire exclusive economic zone, the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and the French Marine Protected Areas Agency decided to develop a framework for managing the area.[6] Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park was established through TAAF ordinance number 2012–245 on February 22, 2012,[2]: 51 and the park entered operation in early 2015.[7] It is the fourth marine natural park established by France, and the second in the Indian Ocean following that of Mayotte.[6]
