Practical

Coordinate is the centre of the ZMR polygon whose corners are published in arrêté 912 CM (WGS84). Corners: 16°46.182'S 151°02.064'W to 16°46.338'S 151°01.998'W. Quota 3 boats, 48 h maximum. There are no shops nearby. The brief suggests having a rental car or e-bikes delivered to the quay, or walking to Avae Uri, the stone with the legendary paw print of the dog Piihoro, on the cross-island road. Kids fish from the Maroe bridge at the head of the bay. Rules for every small-boat ZMR (arrêté 912 CM, 26 June 2025): boats under 20 m only; authorization from DPAM required via escales.gov.pf (or escales.dpam@administration.gov.pf, DPAM 24/7 +689 40 54 45 78). Night reservations (4pm to 9am) are mandatory; boats under 20 m may use free spots 9am to 4pm within the quota. The 2025 brief says booking is free for now but fees will be charged from 2026, so check the current rate on escales.gov.pf. Anchor positions are indicative until secured moorings are laid (planned for 2026). Once moorings are in, anchoring is forbidden. Inside the zone: 5-knot limit, no sailing, no scuba, jet-skis or windsurfing; swim and snorkel only right beside your own boat; show anchor lights; keep AIS on; no black-water discharge, no hull work or engine testing, no underwater lights. Grey-water tanks are compulsory in the lagoon. If you leave the boat, name someone who can move it within 6 hours. DPAM 'ambassadors' may visit to check quotas.
