Although famous for its unique land-dwelling Komodo dragons, Komodo National Park features one of the world’s most biologically diverse marine environments. Coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds provide habitat for more than 1,000 species of fish, dolphins, dugongs, and sea turtles.

Established as a national park in 1980 and declared a World Heritage Site, the park still faces threats such as overfishing, tourism growth, pollution, and destructive fishing practices.
