    Entry
    The amount was not read: the 2019–2023 management plan says the 1996 regulations (SI 70) set admission fees, but gives no figure.

    Tip: The reserve has general use, conservation, wilderness and seasonal closure zones, each with its own rules; the general use zone restricts fishing gear, for example banning fish traps, according to the Fisheries Department.
