The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has officially designated Nelson’s Dockyard National Park as a Noise Abatement Zone under the Noise Abatement Act of 1996. This landmark decision, set to take effect on November 15, 2025, underscores the nation’s dedication to safeguarding the cultural and residential integrity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The move aims to balance the needs of residents, visitors, and businesses while ensuring the preservation of the Park’s unique character and high-end tourism appeal. Key regulations include prohibiting noise that causes annoyance to others, requiring loud music to cease by midnight, and mandating all music to stop by 1:00 AM. Activities extending beyond this time will require a special permit. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to sustainable tourism and heritage protection, encouraging collective efforts to maintain the Dockyard’s charm for future generations. #NelsonsDockyard #NoiseAbatementZone #NationalParks #UNESCO #AntiguaAndBarbuda #SustainableTourism #HeritageProtection
