Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve is part of the Bimini chain of islands in the western Bahamas, 32 km (20 miles) south of Bimini and just 104.5 km (65 miles) east of Miami. As part of a multi-phase restoration strategy, MSC Cruises has transformed Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve from what once was an industrial sand excavation site into a into a thriving marine reserve that will harmoniously coexist with the local ecosystem. MSC Cruises worked with an expert team to revitalize the surrounding ocean beds, marine life and endangered coral.
In the coming months, MSC Cruises will also introduce a Conservation Center on the island, which will serve as an active base for coral education and research.
The natural, unspoiled beauty of the ocean and beaches is at the heart of the Ocean Cay experience, and the eco-friendly and sustainable practices on the island as well as designating the surrounding waters as a flourishing marine reserve are built around MSC Cruises’ commitment to protecting, restoring and conserving it.
