Located in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, the Buck Island National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S. Virgin Islands is an important part of the U.S. National Wildlife Refuge System, known for its pristine marine ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Established in 1975, the refuge encompasses Buck Island and the surrounding waters and focuses on the protection of tropical coral reefs, seagrass beds, and endangered species such as the green turtle, hawksbill turtle, and many species of seabirds. With its crystal clear waters and unspoiled beaches, it is an important turtle breeding site and migratory stopover for migrating birds. Visitors can engage in activities such as snorkeling and kayaking in the designated area, subject to strict ecological protection regulations to maintain the fragile balance of this natural clearing. The reserve is not only a scientific research base, but also an ecotourism destination that showcases the pristine charm of the Caribbean islands.
