MUSTIQUE CONSERVATION AREA BY-LAWS
These conservation by-laws have been compiled to
help us protect the fragile and unspoilt environment of
this beautiful island. Please take the time to read it.
Your cooperation in following these by-laws will make a
positive contribution to our conservation efforts.
This responsibility has been officially recognised since
1989 when the Government of St. Vincent and the
Grenadines passed The Mustique Company Limited
Act 1989 (Act. No. 62) into law. This Act—amongst
many other things—declared the island of Mustique,
together with the beaches, foreshore and surrounding
waters for 1,000 yards, to be a Conservation Area.
The Act appointed The Mustique Company the
custodian of the Mustique Conservation Area.
The whole of Mustique is private property owned freehold by The Mustique Company and its licencees. The
Company is solely responsible for its management and
development. Its officers, employees and authorised
nominees are empowered:
To escort to the Police or from Mustique any person
whose behaviour gives reasonable grounds for suspecting that he or she has committed an act damaging
to the Conservation Area.
To seize any motor vehicle, boat or aircraft, equipment
or machinery in the possession or control of a person
committing a prohibited act or contravening the
by-laws.
By-Laws
The following by-laws apply to all day and yacht visitors
to Mustique. A day and yacht visitor is defined as a
person who is visiting Mustique on vacation and does
not have available accommodation in a permanent
structure on the Island.
1. Entry Fee—The Company will charge an entry fee
for day and yacht visitors who are not nationals of
St. Vincent & the Grenadines. This fee is fixed per
person per day and may be changed from time to time.
For airplane day visitors the fee is paid at the airport.
For day visitors arriving by sea, the fee is paid at the
harbour master’s office.
2. Anchoring of Boats—We preserve and regenerate
the coral reefs and protect the ecosystem of the
beaches. Boats are not allowed to drop anchor within
the Mustique Conservation Area. For the same reason
tenders may only use the dingy jetty and not land on
beaches. They must use only the mooring buoys
provided in Britannia Bay and in Endeavour Bay. The
mooring charge includes insurance cover.
Five mooring buoys (painted red) are reserved for
emergencies only. For emergency use of these buoys,
please contact Chief Security Officer,
VHF channel 16 or telephone operator.
Passengers of private yachts located outside the
Conservation Area will only pay an entry fee on landing
ashore.
Boats carrying more than 25 passengers who are not
St. Vincent nationals are not allowed to enter the
Conservation Area.
3. Jet Skis and Water Skiing—Jet skis are not allowed in
the Mustique Conservation Area. Water skiing may be
carried out in Britannia Bay but for safety reasons must
be seaward of the moored yachts. Remember people
might be swimming around the yachts.
4. Beaches—Nudity is not allowed in Mustique. When
walking around the island in bathing suits, please also
wear cover ups such as T-shirts or pareos.
Picnics are only allowed in designated areas.
5. Spear Guns—are not allowed. Do not disturb fish or
other sea creatures. Let other people enjoy them too.
Do not break coral when snorkeling.
Look but do not touch.
6. Private Property—Permission to be on Mustique
does not extend to entering the property of individual
villa owners or photographing people or their villas
without asking permission.
The complement of each villa must be strictly adhered
to. You must not exceed the maximum number of persons allowed (inclusive of children). In the unique situation wherein the number of guests may increase,
permission must be obtained well in advance so that
we may best service your needs. If permission is
granted, additional charges will be applied accordingly. Reservation list requires in advance indicating
names of maximum number of guest. Children are
included in the count, but not infants. Mustique
Company requires all names of island guests for security and safety reasons prior to arrival.
7. Litter—We take great pride in keeping Mustique
clean and free of litter of all sorts. Please place litter in
receptacles. Garbage off boats may be deposited in
the bins opposite the dingy jetty.
8. Flora & Fauna—Do not pick flowers or fruits or dig
up plants. Do not disturb animals such as tortoises. If
you see a tortoise, it probably has a home nearby—do
not move it to another part of the Island.
9. Driving Restrictions—A local driving licence is
required to drive any motorised vehicle in Mustique.
This can be purchased from the Immigration Officer at
the airport or the police station. The minimum age is
17. You will need to show the Officer your normal driving licence. Please observe the speed limit of 20 miles
an hour. Do not drive on beaches.
10. Fires—Do not light fires. Fires can be particularly
dangerous during the dry season—December to June.
11. Security—While we are fortunate in having very
good security in Mustique, it is important not to tempt
people to petty crime by:
• leaving keys in your car
• leaving cameras, radios etc. lying around in
public places
• handling large amounts of money in public
12. Drugs—The laws of St. Vincent prohibit the use and
possession of controlled substances such as marijuana,
cocaine and heroin. The St. Vincent Police Force based
in Mustique is charged with the responsibility of enforcing laws including prohibitions against the use of controlled substances.
The penalties are very severe in this regard.
In case of an emergency, please telephone 8111 and
ask for the doctor
or security.
All of us here in Mustique are dedicated to preserving
the natural beauty of our Island. This means that everybody must appreciate the fragility of the ecostructure
and the impact that people have on it. Please do your
part in helping to protect Mustique.
