The syndicat mixte du Parc Marin de la Côte Bleue, which manages the marine reserves, is located on the Rouet parking lot, in the building known as the Observatoire du Parc Marin.
It brings together the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, the Bouches-du-Rhône département, the municipalities of Martigues, Sausset-les-Pins, Carry-le-Rouet, Ensuès-la-Redonne and Le Rove, and professional fishing organizations (the Comité Régional des Pêches Maritimes et des Élevages Marins, and the Prud'homies of Marseille and Martigues).

Its objectives are: to manage, protect and enhance the natural marine and coastal environments; to contribute to the economic and social development of sea-related activities, in particular small-scale professional fishing; to welcome, inform and educate the public; to carry out experimental or exemplary actions in the above fields; and to contribute to scientific research programs. The syndicat mixte's scope of action covers the entire Côte Bleue coastline, from Anse des Laurons in the west to Pointe de Corbières in the east, and the adjacent marine environment up to 2 miles offshore. It covers the municipalities of Martigues, Sausset les Pins, Carry le Rouet, Ensuès la Redonne and le Rove. Since 1983, the Marine Park has carried out a number of actions to inform and raise public awareness.
