The sanctuary's biodiversity supports both ecological balance and tourism, but human activities such as boating and diving must be managed carefully to avoid disturbing marine life or damaging historical artifacts. Visitors are encouraged to follow guidelines to minimize their environmental footprint. Risks include potential harm to marine species from vessel traffic and pollution, as well as safety concerns for divers exploring shipwrecks. Conservation efforts are critical to maintaining the sanctuary's health and ensuring its continued availability for public enjoyment and scientific study.
