Tun Sakaran Marine Park

Tun Sakaran Marine Park, also known as Semporna Islands Park, is a marine park off the east coast of Sabah near the town of Semporna, at the entrance to Darvel Bay. Gazetted in 2004 as Sabah's seventh protected area under Sabah Parks, it comprises the islands of Bodgaya, Boheydulang, Sebangkat and Salakan, the sand cays of Maiga, Sibuan and Mantabuan, and the patch reefs of Church and Kapikan, scattered around the rim of a drowned volcanic crater. Around 2,000 people live within the park, many of them nomadic Bajau Laut ('Sea Gypsies') living in stilt houses and houseboats.
