The reason behind why the National Park was established was to provide protection to the biodiversity of the bank. The marine life there consists of humpback whales, sea turtles, over 200 species of fish, and many kinds of sea birds. The bank is highly valued to other close reefs, acting as a source of coral larvae and fish that then spread throughout nearby coral reefs in the region. In the past the bank has been damage by anchors from ships and tankers settling for fueling up on oil. After a while the Saba bank began to deteriorate in color and size.
