Benner Bay Pond
Marine Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary
| Address: |

East off the Nadir-Red Hook Rd. Compass Point, USVI 00805 |
Description
After the pond was cut off from the sea by the construction of a road, much of the wildlife died or had to move elsewhere. Fortunately, in 1992, the government stepped in and designated the pond a marine reserve and wildlife sanctuary. It was reopened to the sea, and water levels in the pond were restored. Shortly afterwards, fish and crabs--and subsequently birds--began to repopulate the area. Today it is a popular birding site.
