Additionally, the GTA has overseen the implementation of 19 designated moorings within the marine protected area. 

These color-coded moorings serve a dual purpose, accommodating an influx of vessels expected as tourism officials anticipate a surge in visitors, all while ensuring the protection of the delicate underwater environment by prohibiting anchoring in the area.
