Banco Chinchorro is a Federal Reserve, managed by CONANP (National Commission of Natural Protected Areas). There are no permanent human settlements within the Reserve, except for a Mexican Navy post station; the Reserves Guard Base; and 15 huts and 15 cabins used by fishermen as temporary residence during lobster season (July through February). Fisheries, mainly queen conch, lobster and scale fish, are appointed to three fishermen cooperatives (92 persons), which are based in the communities of Xcalak, Mahahual and Chetumal City. There is public access to the Reserve incipient and occasional, mainly for scuba diving and snorkeling.
