In 2018, a group of 15 organizations allied with the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MIMARENA) to sign a co-management agreement for the SAMAR, in order to jointly manage this protected area. Due to the large size of the sanctuary, these co-managers decided to distribute themselves into three management units, each in charge of a different zone: the Southern Zone Unit, the Central Zone Unit and the Eastern Zone Unit. The Cap Cana Foundation leads the Central Zone Unit and, together with all the co-managers of the three zones, works together to ensure the good health and ecological functioning of the marine ecosystems within the sanctuary.
