In 2002, the Bahamas Government designated it as Little Inagua National Park. The park is approximately 31,600 acres and its designation extends into the marine area to 100 fathoms. The park holds a wide variety of reptiles, birds, wild goats, and donkeys. Additionally, the island is a nesting location for a critically endangered sea turtle species.

On July 27, 2017, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force rescued six Haitian migrants from the island.
