Yellow park moorings off Cabritte Horn Point: the only place in the Coral Reef National Monument where any fishing is allowed, by permit, for pelagics.
Practical
Position approximate: in the water just south of the GNIS point for Cabrithorn (Cabritte Horn) Point. Yellow-with-blue-stripe moorings are for permitted hard-nose fishing (NPS marine page). Blue runner, mackerel, tuna and bonito may be taken only from these moorings, with a permit, January 1 to September 30 (closed October 1 to December 31); apply for permits at the NPS office in Cruz Bay (NPS fishing page). Otherwise no fishing or take of any kind in the monument, no spearfishing anywhere in park or monument waters (spear guns must be broken down in transit), and Nassau and goliath grouper are protected territory-wide. Exposed to southerly swell.
