Marine protected areas in Haiti are largely created through the efforts of the Foundation for the Protection of Marine Biodiversity (FoProBiM) to help protect Haiti's coastal and marine ecosystems. In August 2013, the Port Salut/Aquin Protected Area (Aire Protégée de Ressources Naturelles Gérées de Port Salut/Aquin), was created in Southwestern Haiti.[1] The most recent marine protected area is the Three Bays Protected Area (Aire Protégée de Ressources Naturelles Gérées des Trois Baies), located in Northeastern Haiti and created in December 2013.[2]
