Marine parks
Marine parks are areas of marine waters and lands permanently set aside to protect the biological diversity of our marine plants and animals, and to provide protection for unique and representative areas. Marine parks are zoned for multiple-uses such as fishing and recreation. This provides varying levels of protection, and ensures the continued enjoyment of our marine resources.
