Reef Etiquette DO NOT TOUCH THE CORAL. Just touching coral can cause damage to these fragile animals. Use the permanent mooring buoys where provided. Do not anchor in coral or sea grass. If you must drop your anchor, do so only in sandy areas. Do not hand-feed the fish. This modifies their behavior and produces an unnatural environment. The red and white dive flag must be flown while snorkeling or scuba diving. Federal law prohibits polluting the sea. Spearfishing is NOT allowed anywhere in park waters.
