Yep, the strict marine reserve. But it doesn’t stop the military base from pumping sewage into it, and it doesn’t stop rich people with yachts from going there. Just normal people and Chagos islanders aren’t allowed.

The only major politician who intended to do right there was Jeremy Corbyn, but he was slaughtered by the media for being not evil enough.
