The waters surrounding the islands have been gazetted as Pulau Redang Marine Park under the Establishment of Marine Park Malaysia Order 1994 (Fisheries Act 1995).

The boundary of the marine park is established by a line linking all points 2 nautical miles from the shores (low water mark) of Pulau Redang, Pulau Lima, Pulau Ekor Tebu and Pulau Pinang.
