Officers have the power to arrest anyone found violating these regulations, and such persons shall be charged and prosecuted in a court of law.

Visitors must check in with the reserve staff.
The entrance fee for foreign visitors is BZ$10/person/day and BZ$30/person/week.
The sport fishing fee is BZ$25/person/week.
Only catch-and-release sport fishing is allowed, and barbless hooks should be used.
