Pulau Punyit marine wildlife sanctuary (coral reef no-take area)

Rocky oceanic islet (~100 m long, 30 m wide) ~600 m off the Brunei coast (Brunei Cliff / north of Sungai Jerudong) fringed by ~8 ha of coral reef. The fringing coral reef of Pulau Punyit is a designated marine wildlife sanctuary protected under the Antiquities and Treasure Trove Act (1967), and is one of the three Brunei MPAs containing coral reef inside the Marine Protected Area Network established in 2012. As a marine reserve/sanctuary, fishing or taking aquatic life without a licence is an offence under s27 of the Fisheries Order 2009; combined with the speargun being prohibited gear, spearfishing here is prohibited.
